Why I'd rabbit carrying a mouth full of hay?

[oldhenlikesdogs]

My female bunnies go through false pregnancies. They get grumpy and hormonal. They hide and don't eat a lot. It's all normal here.

I personally wouldn't feed your bunny celery, at least not daily, and definitely if your bunny isn't eating her pellets.

My mature bunnies don't eat as much of the pellets as they used to, so perhaps yours is slowing down as she matures too.

In my opinion it's more important your bunny eat more roughage like hay to keep her guts moving and healthy. Bunnies can get a hairball that can cause a blockage, so keeping stuff moving through is important.

My bunnies favorite treat is willow branches which is another good source of roughage.

Sorry I ment to include a pic with my last post. She had this watery poop today. Isn't this the type she is supposed to eat. Warning gross photos

Yeah, that's a fairly normal looking cecal pellet to me. If your rabbit's not feeling well it's not a big surprise if she doesn't re digest them and sometimes they don't eat all their cecal pellets anyhow.

My female carries straw and builds herself a bed...She isn't in false pregnancy either...

So here's another update on bella. I am so happy because she is eating her pellets again. And also her hay.

Droppings beginning to look normal? I’m glad to hear she’s getting back to herself.
Mine would build beds for HIMself quite often with some of his hay. Don’t think bubba was having a false pregnancy. Guess the little dude liked to be comfy too

I don't know about rabbits and nesting, but I know that false pregnancy can actually happen in males. It's been seen a few times in dogs. Probably not the case with a male rabbit that's just building a nest, but it might be possible.

hey everyone i wanted to update on bella. she was doing really good, she is eating had normal droppings and seemed great, so i did not take her to the vet becuz i new it would stress her out. she is still eating but i just went and found a bunch of non normal wet poop. it looked like the poop she was supposed to eat but it was smushed so i could not tell. so know i want to take her to the vet again, but!!! the vet that takes rabbits is alll booked up. so what do yall think it is. should i try and find another vet. thank you everyone for helping me.
