QuestionI have two bunnies. There was a big thunderstorm happened on Friday. During the thunderstorm I noticed that my Damion, a white dwarf bunny, was very frightened when he hears the thunder. After the storm was gone in several hours, I went to school. Once I came back from school, Damion doesn't seem to have a good appetite, which is abnormal because he always have a good appetite, and always hyper. Now he is quite and cuddles into a ball. The other bunny seems fine. Damion still eat poo and drink normally. I really want to know why his behavior suddenly changed after the thunderstorm.
AnswerDear Ashley,
The thunderstorm might have frightened him, but if he's still not acting himself, please read this:

and get him to a good rabbit vet:

especially if he is not eating or producing normal poops. Stress and fright can cause health problems in rabbits, and even if the thunderstorm is gone, he might still be sick for some other reason.
I hope he is fine now, but if not, please get him to a good vet ASAP.
Hope this helps.
