If he is not eating, especially if you don't know whether he has eaten in the last 4 hours or so, he needs to see a vet right away. Check out rabbit vets in your area here: Rabbit Friendly Vet List

She could have a spinal problem or a urinary tract problem or something else. We can't diagnose her, you really need to get the poor bun to a rabbit vet.

I would be more concerned with potential dental damage. You could try attaching an acrylic sheet or blanket (or cardboard if he doesn't eat it) to the area where he chews if you can't let him free roam.

This video is brilliant:

Hay only diet (get a variety of grass hays), nothing else for at least a couple of weeks. Then gradually add in tiny amounts of other foods, wait two weeks between introductions and keep a food diary so you have a chance of figuring out what sets it off. Avoid fruit and carrots. Don't give more...

Cotton wool and cooled boiled water.

I would drop the lettuce and make sure he eats lots and lots of grass hay. If there are still signs of pain, get him to a rabbit vet: Rabbit Friendly Vet List

What I do is I put a few pellets on a little plate, add a few drops of boiling water to make a puree and mix the meds in. The aroma of the warm pellets disguises the meds smell - if you're lucky. Worth a try?

Perhaps he is wiping his nose on his paw? Take him in for a check-up.

Take her to the rabbit vet. The urine scalding is likely due to a health problem.

Do you know the IgG and IgM levels? The vet should be able to tell you whether it's a chronic infection. I assume that's what it is as he doesn't have any symptoms, right? I wouldn't worry too much, over half of pet bunnies test positive for EC. A large majority never develop symptoms.

Don't move them between outside and inside, especially in the winter when the temperature difference is large. This can make them ill. Either keep them inside all the time or outside all the time. Make sure they have plenty of room either way. See links below...

This all sounds very positive. Don't rush with any diet changes. Fruit is best avoided. Herbs are the best greens and they can have all of them apart from chives. Introduce slowly and only one green at a time, wait at least a week between introductions of new foods and start with very small...

No, that's wrong. Molars wear down from a circular movement of jaws grinding teeth against each other. They only move their mouths like that when eating long stemmed hay or grass. To eat hay the molars have to work hard, the incisors don't; that is why bunnies without incisors are perfectly...

Pellets do nothing for teeth. Long stemmed grass hay - lots and lots of it - and/or grass is what's needed for dental wear. Keep him on a hay diet with a small amount of fresh herbs and pellets as treats. They really don't need fruit or carrots.

Yes, you need to do something about the floor; hard, slippery floor is terrible for bunnies. Flooring is so difficult to get right... Try cotton rag rugs (but you need to make sure they don't slip on the floor) or cushioned, textured, non-slip lino or stable mats.

You're doing great if you groom him every day. Don't worry about doing the belly, if you do the back and sides that's fine.

You should go by what is normal for your bunny. Some bunnies will regularly have a 10 hour interval between pooping and it's not a problem. It's only when it's a change in behaviour you should worry.

I would wait until they are good with the litter box. Blankets are just to make them more comfortable.
