Rabbits

I went dowmstairs to fill her food and water as usual, but she didn't eat. And when I pet her, she seemed to be falling asleep with her eyes closed. I got her out of her cage and tried giving her hay, but she didn't eat any until 15 minutes later. I'm relieved that she's eating now but she barely moves. She was completely fine yesterday. Has this ever happened to anyone?

edit: typo

follow up: she is doing better. she had an upset stomach because my dad fed her a carrot :/

For the curious. Obviously I cannot enforce anything but I would appreciate if we could move to !bunnies@lemmy.world. If you want to continue posting here though, feel free, free internet and all that.

In reference to this post about merging !bunnies@lemmy.world and !rabbits@lemmy.world.

I found this post I made awhile ago about potentially merging the communities. Now that I actually do mod !bunnies@lemmy.world, I figured I'd do as @justlookingfordragon@lemmy.world suggested a year ago and poll both communities about how they'd prefer to handle things:

• Stay separate, do not merge
• Merge: move Bunnies users to Rabbits
• Merge: move Rabbits users to Bunnies
• Merge: move users of both communities to a single new community

You can answer the poll anonymously at this link. It closes a week from now. I'll do what the poll says once it's over.

I notice that !bunnies@lemmy.world is still active, while !rabbits@lemmy.world seems to have much sparser activity, so full disclosure: I voted for moving !rabbits@lemmy.world users to !bunnies@lemmy.world.

Hello fellow rabbit people - has anyone else noticed that if they scratch on their bun's lower back that said bun starts grooming? It feels exactly like when a dog's hind paw starts shaking except she turns and grooms her shoulders. It's super strange. She doesn't seem to hate the scratches (above her tail, in a region she's always a little scruffy in because I don't know if she can reach as well back there in her old age). It's just the strangest thing and I don't know if it's a sign of something.

Don't worry everyone, he's just flopping. They will never stop stealing food from each other.

The temperature in here gets higher than today regularly but it's normally really dry. Today has been very humid so I guess that must be why. Everyone needs to know the signs of overheating! Clover was visibly shaking and her ears were hot. We cooled her by turning on the AC and putting an ice pack on her. You could also touch the ice pack to their ears to help or spray their ears with a little mist of water then blow a fan on it to cool them down.

Finally got my bun the ikea doll bed. She likes... the treats I bribed her with to stand on it!

She was giving me some serious attitude. I decided I'd crack open the door even if it meant heating up the apartment a little. I assume she's come back in before actually getting heat stroke?

Come on, Bennie! Have some self-respect! You look desperate!

Why are they like this every time!
