Not eating at all in rabbits
What this sign can mean and when to act, from House Rabbit Society and RWAF guidance. This is general information, not a diagnosis.
This can be a rabbit emergency.
This may be a veterinary emergency. Call your exotic vet now, or go to the nearest emergency exotic vet hospital.
What it can mean
Because not eating is a vet emergency in rabbits, the vet's exam matters more than naming the cause, but it can be associated with GI stasis (the gut slows or stops moving), dental pain, or another illness rabbits are hiding. A rabbit's digestive system can deteriorate within hours, so calling your exotic vet right now is the safest move.
