  Our only female is behaving strangely today. She has barely moved all day, hasn’t eaten a thing or gone potty. She also feels slightly colder than normal. Any ideas?

  This is an EMERGENCY 9-1-1 situation! Get her to the vet as soon as possible. She almost certainly has GI stasis.
  When rabbits don’t eat even for a few hours it can be deadly.

  Your description has all the hallmarks ofi GI stasis, a very serious condition. Bun needs vet care. Here’s a good article about GI stasis in rabbits:

  I agree. If you can’t get her to the vet right away, then in the meantime give her 1ml/1cc of some unflavored baby gas drops (simethicone) every 1-3 hours.

  We went to an er vet to ease my mind. They gave her some fluids.
  Went to my vet this am and she believes it is gi stasis. My poor girl!! We got plenty of meds and doc says she should be better in 3-5 days. She is very happy to be home with her brothers! Fingers crossed for a speedy recovery!

  I think dealing with stasis is some sort of right of passage for bun ownership! Fingers crossed she recovers quick and easy.
