There is a good chance it is because the rabbit has dental issues. The rabbit's teeth may have over-grown and cause them pain. There are many possible reasons that might cause a rabbit to make weird noses and not eat or drink. Whatever the reason, your rabbit needs to see a vet with experience and knowledge in treating rabbits as soon as possible. If your rabbit isn't eating, it's in risk of serious illness (GI stasis). Rabbits can't safely fast like humans and other animals can, not even for a little while, so a rabbit who isn't eating needs to see a vet. See the related question below for more info and links.

∙ 15y agoAny number of problems, all serious, can cause sudden weakness. Heatstroke, blood loss, shock, overwhelming infection, neurological disorder, intestinal obstruction, poisoning, trauma to the spine or legs, and metabolic diseases are just a few of the conditions that result in weakness. If your rabbit can't stand up, don't try to force him. Instead, to make him comfortable, place him on a towel or blanket and take him to the veterinarian immediately.

My rabbit comes into the house twice a day an hour every morning night but I've recently been told that temperature change can be very dangerous to your bunny is this true if it is what should I do?
First off, you might consider bringing your rabbit into the house permanently unless it is simply impossible. House rabbits live longer than rabbits kept outdoors. You can also better regulate temperature for your rabbit if you allow it to stay in a climate-controlled environment. If you are absolutely unable to move your rabbit indoors full-time, you can try the following: 1. Give your rabbit a couple of hard-shelled plastic freezer packs (to avoid damage by teeth), or freeze water in old bottles and place them where your rabbit likes to lie. 2. Provide a fan that your rabbit can sit near. Some rabbits do not like a direct breeze, so position it to create a cool air flow. 3. Make sure your rabbit is hydrated! Easy access to several water sources is ideal, and if your rabbit will drink from a bowl you can try leaving a handful of ice cubes in the water to keep it cool for an extended period of time. 4. Air conditioning. This may seem obvious, but if you can afford a cheap a/c unit for the room where your rabbit spends most of its time, your rabbit will be more comfortable. Remember that your rabbit's fur coat is the equivalent of you wearing a sweater at all times - if you think you'd be too warm in a sweater, chances are your rabbit is already too warm. Lastly, if your rabbit is overheated and can't be cooled down by a shallow bath in a lukewarm water, you may have a medical emergency on your hands. If your rabbit begins to act ill or lethargic, seek veterinary treatment immediately.
Can rabbits eat feijoas?
The feijoa (Acca sellowiana) is also known as the pineapple guava and guavasteen. Rabbits can eat feijoa skin and fruit but only as a treat. Too many treats will make your rabbit sick. The House Rabbit Society recommends no more than 2 tablespoons of treat food per day for a normal, healthy 6 pound rabbit. A healthy rabbit diet consists of lots and lots of hay, fresh dark-coloured leafy greens, and rabbit pellets. Feijoa leaves and twigs are much better for the rabbit than the fruit or fruit skins. Whenever you feed your rabbit something new, start with very small portions and watch the rabbit's health and behaviour for the next little while (see the related question below for info). Just because something is generally safe for rabbits, doesn't mean it's good for your rabbit. (Rabbits, just like humans, can have food allergies and sensitivities. It is not recommended to give rabbits feijoa or any fruit skins to eat. Non-edible fruit and vegetable skins are usually covered in toxins (insecticides, etc), so if you're going to give them to an animal to eat, you should either wash them in food soap (this is NOT the same as dish soap or any other soap), or buy organic, or grow the fruit yourself and don't use any toxins on them.
How often are you supposed to shower your dutch bunny?
It is not recommended to give a bath/shower to a rabbit. To help him keeping clean, the better way is by grooming him everyday with a soft brush or comb. If he is unable to wash his backside, it might be a sign of being overweight : make sure by feeling his ribs. If you cannot feel them easily, put your bunny on a restricted pellets diet : he will regain his ability after loosing some weight.

What does it mean if your rabbit has many cecotropes?
No matter how often they seem to be eating cecotropes, if your rabbit is eating them all and you're not finding any left over, there's nothing to worry about! Rabbits eat cecotropes so they can get the full nutritional value from their food.If you're finding cecotropes left over, though, something's not right. If it only happens once, make a note of it and mention it to your vet at your next regular appointment. It could have just been passing stress or anxiety.If it keeps happening for more than a day or two, something is wrong, and you should call your vet, explain the problem and maybe go in for a special appointment.Perhaps your rabbit is over-producing cecotropes because his diet is too rich in protein and fat. In that case, you should adjust his diet: more hay, less pellets (and possibly find a higher-quality pellet that's lower in fats and protein), less fruits and sugary veggies (these are treat foods), and more fresh greens (like Romaine lettuce, basil, and cilantro).Perhaps your rabbit is unable to reach his cecotropes. In that case, your rabbit may be too obese and needs to go on a diet. Diets can be dangerous with rabbits, so you should speak with your special, rabbit-savvy vet. Or, your rabbit might have mobility problems (due to an injury, or arthritis, or "head tilt," or something like that). Mobility problems could be very, very serious, so bring him to a vet and find out for sure what's going on.

If they get in trouble for drinking too much and yet continue to drink anyway, they're addicted.
