bunny not going to the bathroom

Question
Hi,
I got a rabbit about a week ago, he was doing fine until yesterday night when I noticed that he wasn't going to the bathroom like he normally does. I was just wondering if there are any food that I can give him to help him go to the bathroom like normal again.
        Thanks, Taylor

Answer
Dear Taylor,

Please read this immediately, and start the protocols you can do without a vet:

but as soon as you can, please get your bunny to a good rabbit vet:

A bunny who is not producing fecal pellets is in a very serious condition, and this will not be solved by simply providing a certain type of food.  

I hope this helps, and that your bunny is back to normal soon.
