Questioni just got my bunny 2 days ago, and its two months old. I was holding my bunny on top of its cage for about 5 minutes rocking it back and forth, and then my bunny twitched and suddenly turned, and about at that moment i didn't have much control of it, so it fell on its side about a meter and a half high to a wooden log and it bounced off it, and fell on the cage afterward again, landing of its side... i was scared because its two months old. do you think my bunny will be really hurt or bruised?
thanks

AnswerIt's possible he was not injured, but, I would watch to see if he starts hunching up and grinding his teeth. That would be a sign that he is in pain and needs to see a vet.
Also, since rabbits are ground-dwelling creatures, it might be better in the future to hold him while you are sitting on the floor.
If he did break something, you can find information here at http://homepage.mac.com/mattocks/morfz/rabrefs.html#bones
