Question
I have had my rabbit..Oreo for a month now and up until a few days ago it was doing GREAT! Now she/he won't move from one spot for long amounts of time and instead of running for the food and treats he just looks at it while the other rabbit eats! I don't know what to do he's getting small and I am afraid he will die and I really love him please help!!! Also I believe the other rabbit is pregnant could that have anything to do with Oreo's illness?  

Answer
You need to take him to a rabbit knowledgeable vet to determine why he isn't eating, there are many different causes.  

You can find such a list at http://homepage.mac.com/mattocks/morfz/PB_vets.html

You need to get him eating, or yes, you will lose him.  You can find information on this at http://homepage.mac.com/mattocks/morfz/rabrefs.html#feeding

I don't think the other rabbit's condition has anything to do with this.
