  I have a 4 year old Netherland Dwarf named Oliver. For about as long as I can remember (I’ve had him since he was a wee bun), his back hocks click/crack when he hops around… is this something I should be worried about? Would this be the beginning of bunny arthritis? Anyone else have a bun with this? Should he be seen by the vet? It doesn’t seem to bother him. He still runs his zoomies around the room and binkys with ease. But I was curious if anyone else has experienced this? Thank you!

  I have never heard of that happening, but the best thing to do would be to watch him and if he slows down or seems to be in pain take him to the vet.
  
  Common Signs of pain:
  *decrease in appetite or drinking
  *becoming lethargic
  *loud tooth grinding
  *not willing to play or exercise
