I don't think Helen is well/ UD 'Just a dirty bottom' :-)

We have both noticed that for a few days now Helen and Baby Saint haven't eaten all their greens and herbs we haven't been to worried as they all seem to go through phases of not eating their greens, sometimes they don't like the cabbage and we have had chopped cabbage for a couple of days and thought it could be that but I've just noticed their food has hardly been touched and I know Baby Saint won't eat until her Mummy Helen does.

Helen is sat in the corner it is all their ' bunny siesta' time but I am now wondering if Helen is not well, she has an old hernia and a twisted spine and I know she can suffer with back pain. Mike has given them both some Metacam.

I've just been and looked at her again and she is now eating , am I worrying to much?

You are right to keep a close eye on them. We bunny mums (and dads) know our buns best and we should follow our instincts.

Sending vibes that they are ok xxx

you know your buns so i would definately keep a close eye on her
sending some early vibes just in case

Just-in-case vibes from here too.

As has been said, I think if they seem 'off' then you should trust your instinct. But hopefully it is nothing more than an off day or two

When Helen was checked she had a dirty bottom so we think that was why she was quiet, our bunnies make me laugh if they have a dirty bottom they seem to hide away and I'm sure it's a case of 'Oh no if they know I've a dirty bottom they will pick me up and clean it....Noooooooooo"

But they don't win as we can sniff them out

Sending vibes just in case!

I think it is funny when they will give you the 'butt in the face' when they are mad...sometimes up close and all to personal. But when we TRY to look at their butts....no way!

Sending some just-in-case vibes for Helen and hoping it is just a dirty bottom and nothing more

Helen is ok and was quiet because she had a dirty bottom as soon as it was cleaned she was different again

What is she like

Oh Helen, you do know how to scare your mummy and daddy don't you!

I am so glad she is better love. I don; think mums and dads can every worry too much and I am sending lots of love and cuddles.

So glad Helen is better, it's adorable that baby saint won't eat unless her mummy did but I can imagine it isn't helpful!

By dirty bottom do you mean a bit of a runny bum? Jeeves has this, this evening. He did look a bit coy tonight as if to say 'nope, nothing to see here!'

How is the sweet angel tonight? Bottom dry and fluffy?
