I am also worried about Chiku. Rabbits will often decrease their food intake with oral (mouth) problems. Over grown teeth can trap the tongue and also cause ulcers or wounds in the mouth. Of course, other problems could be going on as well. I would encourage you to take him to a veterinarian. They will be able to help determine if it is his mouth giving him problems or something else. I hope he improves soon. Thanks for using Pet Coach.
