Question
Hi, i have a Netherlands Dwarf cross rabbit, I've noticed for a couple of days he has not been acting himself. Usually he is active and eager to come out of his hutch asap but recently will just sit there in a corner and not move. His food bowl seems to stay the same since I've put in fresh and whenever i put water near him he just lays his chin over the top but not drink any. Really concerned and hope you can help. Many thanks Amy

Answer
It could be a number of things, the most stressing thing here is not eating or drinking. There are a couple of things you can try to help entice him to eat/drink. But if this has been going on for a couple of days it sounds like he needs a vet.

Please check out this website for more information on helping to get him to eat/drink
