Pet's info: Small Animal | Rabbit | Female | unspayed | 9 months and 25 days old | 2.5 lbs

My bunny has been agitated and sometimes a little grumpy. Her nose twitches pretty fast and her breathing is faster too. She doesnt binky as much anymore and she isnt as active. Sometimes she just stays in the same spot

Clover is a sweet name. Unfortunately the information you provided is a little limited and makes it hard to guide you. I would recommend having her spayed if you have not all ready. Rabbits run a high risk of cancer in their uterus if not spayed. However at this time if she is eating,drinking and using the restroom normally I would not be concerned. At any time if this changes I would recommend taking her to a vet for a better exam. You are more than welcome to try a pet coach consult. This will allow you to provide more information and maybe get better guidance.
