Strange behivor too quiet

Question
Our bunny is a very loving bunny and she is  treated as part of the family.  She has a bunny proof room all for herself with lots of toys, plenty of timothy hay, orchid grass. She is always looking forward to her serving of romaine lettuce. This morning she did not come out from under the bed. I notice when had urine out of her litter box and is very aggressive and bad tempered today. When her litter box is cleaned in the morning she come out to see her food bowl, drinks water and go on her day. Today she did not come out. She is just in a relax position under the bed and does not want me to touch her. She ate a couple of small pieces of lettuce dipped in water. But does not want to come out or move and this is not normal. She has been laying down this week like if she was nesting. She is about 3 (three) years old and is not neutered. I live in Puerto Rico and people don't have rabbits as pets, they eat them. I'm from New York I DON'T EAT RABBIT OR any other animal meat. SO there are almost 0 vets with rabbit experience. I have one but today is Saturday and does not open until monday. Do you think is serious? I read that it could be that she reached sexual maturity and she thinks she pregnant (false pregnancy)  Thank You,

Answer
Hi Maggie,

Any time a rabbit acts strange it could potentially be a problem.  Since you don't have rabbit savvy vets where you are there is probably not much you can do other than treat her yourself.  It may very well be a false pregnancy and truthfully that is what it sounds like but it is still important to be vigilant.  Make sure that she continues to eat and drink and if she stops you will have to force feed her.  Also make sure that her droppings are normal sized.  If they start to get smaller this is a sign that her stomach is shutting down.  I would keep a close eye on her today and tomorrow and take her into your vet on Monday.  You might be surprised to find out that she knows more than you think.  Even meat rabbits need medical care from time to time.  We use a farm vet who knows more about rabbits than she does horses.  Hopefully it is nothing but you definitely want to keep a close eye on her.

Good luck
