Why is my young bunny not eating, moving, and has small poops?

Question

My bunny is about 2-3 months old. We have been bringing her inside a lot to let her run around and bond with us, and at night we put her in her hutch outside. She usually runs around a little and eats carrots and lettuce we bring her, but today she doesn’t seem to want to move or eat at all. We tried letting her run around outside as well, and she just sat in the shade. She normally loves being in the grass and eats a lot, but she did not. Her poops have been very small, too. Is something wrong?

She may be dehydrated, have a tummy upset or GI stasis. Unfortunately bunnies are not very heat tolerant, so if it is a hot day in your area it can make thm lethargic and even die. Put your bunny in a cool place, offer some fresh cool water, you may even have to syringe some to your bunny. Offer hay, a piece of apple, some lettuce. If your bunny does not start to eat soon when in a cool place you will need to take it to a Pet ER today (call first to see whether they see rabbits) for an exam.
