less active bunny

Question
My son's bunny has been less active for 2 days now. We have never owned a rabbit. We got him about 2-3 years ago. He was about 3mo old.  Sometimes I think I hear like a grinding noise from him. He doesn't run when you try to pick him up anymore. Suggestions? He is drinking, but eating less.

Answer
Dear Kelly,

Please read this immediately:

and find a good rabbit vet here:

www.rabbit.org/vets

It's good that he's still eating some, but this behavior change signals something wrong, and he needs to be seen by a good rabbit vet so that this doesn't become worse.

I hope this helps.
