HELP!! Rabbit not moving

[Haru the Lionhead]

I was about to sleep when haru flopped beside my bed, I looked at her and her eyes were closed which is unusual, I cleaned the hay that was sticking on her fur and she didn’t get up which was unusual too since haru doesn’t like to be touched a lot, she was breathing but not getting up, i got worried and I slightly pushed her from the side, she rolled on the floor and now she’s laying on her belly, I pushed her back to her side and she didn’t get up, I lifted up her head, it fell from my hand and she’s not moving at all, when I tried to put her on my lap she started kicking so i let her down, I kept pushing her back to see her run away.
That gave me a fright!! Do they sleep that deep? I’ve never seen her like that before, could she be sick or something? please help

Yikes! Call the vet ASAP! Has she woken up yet?

 

[JBun]

Is she up hopping around now?

 

[Haru the Lionhead]

Is she up hopping around now?

Yes, and i held the pellets and ran around the room and she chased me

If she's eating, drinking, and running around and behaving normally, it sounds like she's likely fine and maybe just is a very sound sleeper.

Do they sleep that much? I’ve never seen her like that

I can't say, every rabbit is different. If you think there's a health problem with your rabbit, it's best to contact your knowledgeable rabbit vet.

I went out to check on my mini lops and Clover, my girl was flopped in a strange way. She looked super flopped which disturbed me so I watched her for a bit to see if she was breathing and then went to poke her. She also doesn't like being touched unless I have food so I was worried when she didn't move when I poked her, then I shoved her and shook her like when you wake up a person and she still didn't move, so I tried to pick her up and she ran away! I was totally worried she was dead but then I felt sorry for waking her up! So I guess some rabbits sleep deeply? Maybe they just can't be bothered to get up. Hope your bun is fine now!

Some prey animals have a "I'm dead" escape mechanism... I wonder if these buns sometimes "zone out" and slip into that "prey torpor" state.

I know, that's a lot of quotes, but it's just speculation.

@Haru the Lionhead : How's she doing today?
