Expert Answer

A rabbit lying motionless on its side with its eyes open may be caused by conditions such as poisoning, edema, or heart disease. If the rabbit accidentally eats toxic food, poisoning can result, leading to this kind of collapse.

Rabbits with edema or heart disease may also lie on their side without moving. In such cases, take the rabbit to a veterinary clinic promptly for examination and follow the findings with appropriate treatment.
