First day of buying a bunny.

[Kayak]

I need a bit of help. My rabbit isn't eating or drinking that I've seen. I may be over reacting since I've only had her for 5 hours But all she will do is sleep. I don't know if because it's her trying to get used to it or if she comfortable with her new home. But she hasn't eaten or drank anything yet. Can someone please help with a little info please.

It sounds more like she's scared/nervous being in a new home and that's the cause of the lethargy, not that she's actually sleeping. She needs to be in a nice quiet space. It can help to cover the cage/pen with a sheet so your rabbit feels more secure in her new environment. Then give her some space to settle in. If by tomorrow she still isn't eating or drinking and/or it's been 24 hours since she last ate, then you need to get her seen by a rabbit vet as it's considered an emergency when a rabbit goes more than 12-24 hours without eating.
