Why is my rabbit not eating and just sitting around all day?

Question

My rabbit is just sits there in the hutch and in the garden (freedom), she doesn't run about or go and eat grass, I gave her some food but she just licks the food and has a bite really slowly, I'm worried about her, please help. Pet's info: Small Animal | Rabbit | Female

Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Sorry to hear about Binky. A common problem in rabbits is a misalignment of the teeth causing the teeth to become overgrown instead of grinding down when chewing. Otherwise she may have something else going on affecting her ability to chew or take in food. I would advise your vet take a look at her and trim her teeth if they are misaligned. They can also assess her physically and let you know what else could be going on. She may have parasites also since she is outside which that could be taken care of with a good dewormer. Good luck with Binky
