The problem might be that your rabbit has a blockage in its mouth from overgrown or misaligned teeth. This is quite serious because your rabbit needs to be eating and drinking constantly. If there isn’t an emergency 24 hour vet hospital nearby, I would get a syringe and squeeze water in your rabbit’s mouth. Water is crucial to keeping its body moving. You can usually hear “belly” sounds when you put your ear to your rabbits stomach, if you don’t hear anything, that’s a big problem. If you know how to clip your rabbit’s teeth then do so, if you don’t, then don’t attempt for you may do more harm than good. Be sure to get your rabbit to a vet A.S.A.P. Sometimes vets will show you how to clip rabbit teeth, which is valuable info to have, for rabbit’s teeth never stop growing, hence the reason why they are always chewing.
