Why does a rabbit lunge at people?
Lunging may be acting spoiled if appetite and spirits are normal. After bonding, a rabbit may depend on the owner and act spoiled. It may also lunge during estrus, or to guard food and territory. There are many reasons; judge by the situation.
My rabbit has red, teary eyes with white discharge
Red, teary eyes with white discharge may be infection, allergy, foreign body, or tear-duct issues. Rinse with saline, use anti-inflammatory drops or antibiotic ointment, keep environment dry, and feed only hay to avoid allergies.
My rabbit is suddenly lethargic, unsteady, and eating less
Lethargy, unsteady stance, and reduced appetite can come from low calcium, low blood sugar, enteritis, parasites, or cold/uneaten food. Give glucose and easy-to-digest food; see a vet if no improvement.
Rabbit has diarrhea after drinking water
Diarrhea after drinking may be unclean water or too much intake. Stop food briefly to ease the gut, then offer quality hay/high-fiber pellets and probiotics; keep the water bottle clean.
My rabbit’s eyes are half-closed, it won’t eat or drink, sways, breathes noisily, and has watery stool
Watery stool with no eating may be wrong food, coccidiosis, or chilling. Fast briefly with warm water, deworm if coccidia, and see a vet if it persists.
My rabbit is fine when active but twitches and breathes oddly only at rest
Resting twitching with normal appetite is usually overeating or chilling causing hiccups or cough. Lactase helps; if it worsens or other diseases are suspected, see a vet.
My rabbit ate carrot and pancake, then had diarrhea and low energy – what’s wrong?
Sudden diarrhea and lethargy in a rabbit can be improper diet or chilling. Pancakes are greasy and starchy, which rabbits cannot digest well.
My rabbit had sudden diarrhea with little output and is otherwise active – what should I do?
Rabbit diarrhea can come from diet, sudden food change, cold, parasites or enteritis. Adjust the diet, try lactase, and see a vet if it worsens.
Why does a rabbit chew things randomly?
Rabbits may chew indiscriminately because they are teething, releasing stress, or feeling hungry. The cause should be judged from the actual situation, and you should keep hazardous items out of reach.
Why are my rabbit’s teeth crooked?
Crooked rabbit teeth come from wrong position or direction due to genes, environment, or nutrition; congenital cases cannot be fixed, but lack of chewing causes acquired misalignment. Offer fibrous food.
