Question
how can you tell if a bunny is sick or bored?

Answer
Bored rabbits will often make up things to do such as tipping over their food dish, digging out food, or chewing on cage wire.

There are a lot of signs of sickness in a rabbit, depending on what is wrong. Things to watch out for include any sudden changes in behaviour such as eating less, drinking more or less, changes in poop, urinating more frequenly, etc. Discharge from the eyes or nose, bald spots, or scabs inside the ears are also signs of something wrong.
