A normal rabbit is bright, alert, active, inquisitive, has a smooth coat and good body condition. Remember that rabbits are prey animals, and they try to hide their pain so that predators won't pick them as easy targets, so signs of pain may be subtle.

Signs of pain may include:

  • A limp or change in gait
  • Awkward or abnormal body postures
  • Excessive licking, rubbing, or scratching
  • Depression, hiding, or reluctance to move
  • Not drinking or eating
  • Sudden aggression
  • Abdominal pain (including gas): hunched posture, or pressing the belly flat against a hard surface
  • Tooth grinding (not the gentle tooth "purring" of a content rabbit)

If you notice any signs of pain in your rabbit, do a thorough assessment of the rabbit's health at home (looking at appearance and behaviour), and seek veterinary care as needed. See the related questions below for more info and helpful links.

Are kangaroo paw plants eaten by rabbits?

Kangaroo paw plants are generally not favored by rabbits, as they tend to avoid plants with tough, fibrous leaves and those that contain toxic compounds. However, if food sources are scarce, rabbits may nibble on them. It's always best to monitor garden plants for any signs of rabbit activity, especially in areas where their populations are high. Overall, kangaroo paws are not a primary food source for rabbits.
