My bunny is having a problem...

Question
Hi, I wanted to ask someone abouta problem I noticed right after I got the bunny. Here in Korea, bunnies are sold and taken care of with very little or no care. I really hate this but how can I, a 14 year-old boy, do that? Anyways, I bought two bunnies today at a store, along with some bedding and some pellets. The female seems to be doing just fine, I love her outgoing attitude and it seems she has already bonded with me. However, the male sulks all the time, and it had very soiled fur from excretion. It hasn't eaten at all, and after I gently cleaned its soiled bottom, its just sat in the fluffy towel I left it him to dry. I may be overreacting, but there may be problems because they had a very dirty cage (which I washed out and cleaned until i was satisfied), and their feet were greenish. Maybe you can give me some tips on how to keep them cleaner and what seems to be bothering the male...

Thanks you so much for your time!!!

Answer
Hi Kevin,
I'm afraid that your bunny is showing signs of illness, possibly from stress or maybe he was too young to be taken from his mother. If this is the case then you need to get him to the vet, you really need to take him to the vet anyway. But there probably isn't a decent vet out there who will take care of him properly, so my best suggestion is to nurse him, make sure he is drinking, give him a frsh supply of hay daily and generally look after him to the best you can.
Their cage should be at least 6ft long and 2ft wide and they need to be able to stand up in it, the floor should be covered in newspaper with a lay of sawdust and then a thick layer of either hay or straw, this should be changed weekly and any soiled bedding replaced daily. They need a big water bottle which should be cleaned out weekly and the water replaced daily. I hope that you will be able to maintain this for their life which could be up to 12 years.
I hope this helps
Any more questions then please ask me.
