Rabbit acting tired?

[Arloismybunny]

I’ve had Arlo for two weeks. He’s 2 months old. He just seems very tired today and a bit yesterday too. He barely ran around yesterday but he did for a bit. Today however I didn’t see him run around once. He’s been eating hay and drinking water and chewing his favorite toy. He just seems more tired than usual. Is this normal?

Wait if he's 2 months and you got him 2 weeks ago then they were selling him to you too young . Rabbits need to be with their mum till 8 weeks old . I'd take him to the vet .

Sometimes it is just the weather. Has it been rainy there? It has been raining here all day and it is making Theo (and me ) sleepy. If he is eating, drinking, and pooping then I don't think there is reason to worry.
If he does stop acting normal then I would give him 1-2 ml doses of gas drops every hour for 3 hours. If he isn't better by the second dose then please take him to the vet.

What's the weather like up in Maine? It may just be the weather, as Mariam said. I know when the weather got so frigid here, Shen was sleeping more, but still ate, drank, and pooped A LOT. (Like so much, he got nicknamed machine gun butt.)
But also, if you ended up getting Arlo younger than 8 weeks, I agree with Robbie and find a rabbit savvy vet to make sure Arlo is okay.

She had a post from March 11 that said the bunny was 2 months old at that time. She got him on March 6. (You are correct about the 8 weeks. But it seems he was about that age when she got him.)

He probably doesn't need to be seen by a vet... at least not just for having a lazy day. He's still eating and drinking. Running to the vet can cause undue stress and has the potential to make a minor situation worse from that stress.

Yeah, so Arlo should be hitting 3 months old soon.

Ok guys he’s good. Sorry I know I’m just so paranoid! He’s currently running around like crazy!

<3 It's okay. You're worried and that's just fine. I mean, I had a similar reaction when Shen started sleeping more. So yeah. >.>
