Question
The bunny I bought from the flea market not even a week ago died. I do not know what happened the baby was just 6 weeks old. I woke up this morning and put him on the floor for him to follow me around the room me went to move and fell on his face i tried to put him back in the cage was on his face the entire time. He was not drinking and also had, what I believe to be a goiter, on his throat. His head was tilting and shaking. I would just like to know what could of caused this because he was only a baby.

Answer
hi danielle i think the rabbit was ill when you bought it and being 6 weeks old should have still been with its mother
he was probably fitting which is common in rabbits. i would advise you not to buy from a market as you never know where they come from only buy from a good breeder
