Hi Everyone,
I am worried about my rabbit Horatio. He is normally very full of life and keen to come out and play with me whenever it is play time. He is usually out around 4 times a day for around an hour each because we are trying to toilet train him after just getting him 3 weeks ago. He is almost 3 months old and loves to be cuddled and petted and is keen for attention. Today though, he is very disinterested in coming out of his house at all. He had a little play this morning, but then it was right back into his cage and then into his house. I have taken him out a few times to nurse him and when I put him down he hops straight back into his house. He is still eating and weeing, but I haven't seen any poops since 9am and it is now almost 4pm. He usually isn't really a day pooper, but I am a little more worried today as his behaviour has changed. I felt his tummy and it feels firm but not hard. I will listen to it tonight with a stethoscope when my partner comes home and we can tell if his gut is still moving properly.
He still seems generally happy and healthy though - no signs of pain and still flops down for a big nap in his house. He was out for a little bit just a few minutes ago and ate some pellets and hay and did a wee and then went back inside to groom in his house and sleep. I have also removed his oats bowl just in case eating too much of them has made him sick.
Does anyone have an ideas as to what might be wrong? I know it sounds like he is just sleepy today, but this is just a bit odd for him. He is a sleepy bunny yes, but often he will come and sleep beside me in his play pen and still have a run around. No running today at all
