Question
I purchased a dwarf bunny for my son yesterday, all seemed fine, suddenly today he is not using it's left front paw? My children have played(supervised) with the new bunny We have seen no reason for an injury, do bunnies do this at times or should I find a vet asap???? Thank you for your help, were concerned!

Answer
Hi Judy

It is certainly not normal.  He probably got injured on something perhaps even his new cage.  You should really have him examined and they can take an Xray.  You don't necessarily have to rush him off tonight but I would certainly try to get an appointment tomorrow if you can.

I hope he does ok, your little one's obviously love him so it is really better to be safe than sorry.

Thank you
