        Last night i got home from work, gave the boys their nightly salad, and proceeded to let them out. But neither of them wanted to come out of their cages all night. Nothing was enticing them. They would smell treats and would only want them if they could have them in their cages. Finally at midnight Asriel decided he wanted to come out, but at that point it was time for me to sleep as I get up at 5am. They wolfed down their food, ate tons of hay all night, and drank water all night. They hopped around in their cages just fine, but they wouldn’t come out. This morning when I woke up they seemed more active and pawed at the cages and scarfed down their pellets. It’s awful cold here in MA at the moment, could that have something to do with it? They’re also going through a big molt. Just curious as to what’s up because they usually love being out and get fussy when the other one is out. Neither one appear to be sick, and or the only slightly traumatic thing that happened to them was a nail trim at the vet on Sunday.

          Might be all the new year’s mess, especially if you had guests or if you came and went at weird times. If they’re molting too, you have a pair of sleepy buns

            I assumed it was due to the molt, but with bunnies you can never be to sure. Right?

                I noticed Ophelia kinda being like that when she was molting. She seemed to want to be secluded and I actually posted here wondering why she was ignoring me and didn’t want to be around me. During her molt I really had to feed her to get her to come out and let me brush her. I think they just get kinda “moody” if you will

                  I just felt so bad because they get the minimum required amount of out time because of my schedule (weekends they’re out from 8am-2am, so all that time makes up for it). So having them not even run for a few minutes made me feel so sad for them. I literally cried on my way to work this morning and the hubs told me to stop being dramatic ? I figured it was the molt, so I left them alone after an hour or two. But I still feel terrible.

                    Lmao I’ve said this before, but your hubs is literally like my hubs  anytime I’m worried about something with the bun he’s just like “eh, it’s fine. chill out.” Like ok, thanks for that cause it totally eased my mind? NOT..hahaha. Well you gave them the option, so don’t feel bad! It’s like kids lol… you offer them dinner and they don’t want it so you send them to bed hungry. Who’s fault is that! lol
