My rabbit isn't eating!
Wool Block
This is mainly seen in Fuzzy rabbits.
It is a collection of fur in their stomach. Since rabbits can't vomit,
they get hairballs sometimes. The best way to prevent this is to keep them
well groomed, and increase fiber intake. When I get wool block I use a
small dose of mineral oil to "grease things up" inside and allow them to
defecate it out. I use a syringe to get them to swallow it.
Bad Feed
It could be bad feed. Check the
pellets and make sure they smell fresh and have the greenish color to them.
Are the other rabbits eating them? Diarrhea is another sign of the feed
being bad. I had this happen to me once as well. I used the same method
as above with the mineral oil, to wash out their system and I threw out
the feed. Always check the pellets. For the best feed check out the help
page I have on Feeding to get the right amount
of nutrition for your rabbit.
If your rabbit isn't eating, and
it's not wool block, it could be a sign of serious illness.
