Hello everyone, my neighbours got a bunny about a month ago and they realized their kid was allergic to it so they were only keeping it in his cage in a empty room. When i heard about it i immediatly stepped up and got the bunny. I used to have outdoor bunnies when i was little but other than that i have no experience with bunnies.
My bunny is very small i have no idea how old she is maybe a couple months old? I’ve been taking care for it for about two weeks now and my mom gave him some carrot a last tuesday (not a whole carrot it was a small one and it only ate 1/4 of it) . I was really worried something would happen and i observed him very closely for the next 2 days and it was fine. It has been about a week after that but today it pooped on the carpet the first one wasnt as runny but still different from its regular poop and the second one was very runny. It seems like it drinks water as usual but just to be safe i gave him an extra bowl and it drinks from there too. He still eats like regular.
I dont think its because of the carrot because 1 week passed after that we never gave it any fresh vegetables. The only 2 changes were, we change its cages place. Its closer to the door so maybe he got a cold? I’m also sick to day and i put a electric heater in my room and my bunny slept and rested really close to it. I was worried he would be too hot but he got up drank water and went back to chilling in front of the heater a couple of times.
The other change is that the old owners gave me the food they were giving him and it was almost finished and i bought i new one. The one that they gave me had only the bottom of it left if you understand what i mean. It was like powdery and the small pieces. I put both of them in the bowl mixed in so he would get used to it. I notice he searches for spesific things in his bowl i dont know if that means he doesnt like the new food i bought for him or maybe he just likes to eat it that way. Also the people who worked there told me to buy orchards hay. I put just a really small amount just to see if he would eat it and i dont think he did but i’m not sure so i thought i should mention that as well.
These are all the things i can think of. Please give me advice on what to do. It’s very late here so i cant take him to the vet right now and i dont even know if every vet knows about bunnies. I’ll definitely call a vet close to me and bring it there but i’m scared something would happen tonight before i can even take him to vet. If you know anything please let me know but be aware that this is a small bunny and don’t advice anything if you are not sure about it or dont have experience. I dont want to hurt him in any way i am so so worried. Like i said he only poops different eating, drinking seems normal as much as i can see.
My main language is not english so this is the best i can describe everything. I read a lot of forums but i dont know if they are safe for small bunnies. Most of them were for big rabbits. Thank you so much if you’ve read it so far.
