Day 1: Brought baby bunny home. She was happy, she even binkied on her first day home, had a verocious appetite, slept around us, followed us around the room, droppinngs like black pepper seeds, dark yellow thick urine. Chewed on hay
Day 2: She was happy and interested in everything, allowed to be handled, very active, ate a lot, had her first tiny cube of carrots. Droppings like black pepper seeds, clear dilute urine. Chewed on hay
Day 3: We changed her hay and pine lining. I found out that the mixed dried seeds and whatnot i gave her were not very good for her and would make her fat. I took away the food and let her go at the hay. She tried lettuce and some more carrots. Droppings like black pepper seeds, clear dilute urine. Chewed on hay
Day 4: She was normal in the morning, but I gave her less food than before (2 times a day until I got the good type of pellets) , clear dilute urine, falling asleep in our arms, friendly.
In the afternoon a friend came, I thought he was gentle enough buy Piffy struggled for a bit in his hands, she didn't quite like the way he held her i think.
Late afternoon, Piffy started sleeping a whole lot (in our arms). She didn't awake to noises that would normally startle her. She didn't eat a lot (she came running when food was waved in her face but left after a while, instead of the normal staying and eating for a whole hour.
Night, Piffy was almost always asleep. She didn't run around at all, didn't respond to anything, just woke now and then to stretch and then fall back asleep .
Droppings like pepper seeds. less urine. Didn't have much interest in hay. Not much interest in food either.
Day 5: (it's morning now) I woke up expecting to see little Piffy hopping beside my bed waiting for me to wake up as usual. Instead I took 5 minutes to have to find her, (i finally found her sleeping soundly under my bed - didn't she hear us calling?) I tried to tempt her with food, but she took a bite of it and turned back to her hiding place. She didn't want us to touch her. Her droppings were normal, but i found a patch of her urine that was thick and dark-colored like the first day she came home.
Please help me. I know I shouldn't let her out freely while we are sleeping (i shouldn' t give excuses but we stay very far from the city and we haven't found the time to go out to get her the necessary things) .
This is her box. She used to hop in and out of it from the "window", then found it easier just jumping over the edge. After about the 2nd day she didn't like to stay inside the box anymore. She always ate and drank inside the box, but slept, groomed, and did her business outside.
What is wrong with my bunny? Is it the food? we were planning to get her proper timothy hay and pellet food this saturday. is there something else? or has my bunny simply gotten over the initial excitement phase? do baby bunnies sleep a lot? do they like to play with people and look at everything and follow people around the first few days then ignore people and eat nothing after the excitement wanes?
I honestly don't think that's the case. Please help me. Is bunny's change serious enough to be seen by the vet?
