        Snicker my bunny with snuffles stopped eating. I came home from basketball to find him hunched in a corner and not greeting me with the usual cheesy face. He has had darker urine the past few days but we reduced his calcium intake. He was fine yesterday, pooping eating and did a TON of binkys. He was spraying around his cage alot yesterday though. We did put him on a new hay because we ran out – its a store brand Kaytee, I hate it but it’ll have to do until the order ships in. He has been moving around but just wants to hide and lay down. Much help is appreciated!
        Thanks.

          Take him to the vet asap.
          Force feed, at least water if he’s not drinking, in the meantime. Critical care or pellets mashed up.

            The vets are all closed. He was moving around a bit but won’t eat anything yet. We are going to force feed him water, and oh yeah! He just peed!

              I would be wary of force feeding unless you are psotive it’s not a blockage. Is he still drinking ? Is he still pooping ? Have you checked his tummy for bloating and given some gentle tummy massage ? Is there any grinding or hunching that may indicate pain. Have you tried him on some greens and pellets in case its just the hay ?

                Try force feeding pellets with water, and get him moving and do some very gentle tummy massages. Then he must see a vet first thing in the am, because this sounds like GI stasis. Dump his litter box so you can monitor for new poops, and try his favorite treats.

                  I should clarify-pellets mashed very finely and mixed with water, can be force fed.
