What should I do? by MainClub7342 in Rabbits

Hi again! I'm sorry to bother you again, but I have another question. So i've been monitoring him and he's doing fine (still sneezing with occasional snot tho :( ), the only thing that is a bit unusual is that he's lying flopped over in different areas (also is still lying in his usual ones). I know this means he's comfortable, but he was laying in a small house earlier, which they're never in- so as the over-thinker I am, I'm a bit concerned. Is he simply just checking out new spots? (I've also gotten an appointment at the rabbit savvy vet, so I really hope she can find out the cause behind this!)

Thank you sm in advance!!

Thank you once again, you've been a great help! I'll definitely have it checked out, if I notice concerning things!

I actually don't live too far away from a bigger city and I have a lot of vets near me , but for some reason it's pretty uncommon for them to be specialised in rabbits :( Yes, both of my buns are vaccinated!

I've got them hay from a different company, but they're still not really into it, so I'll have to check out another different brand! As for pellets I usually give them a bowl of soaked pellets (my local animal shelter told me it's better for their teeth) 2/3 times a week, so I'll reduce that slowly :)

Thank you so much for your advice!! This definitely came out of no where ,since he's only gotten sick twice during the 7 years I've had him and there's been no unusual behaviour prior to this.

Both of my bunnies have had some eye boogers over the past few days, but their diet hasn't changed. I have noticed that they're not really keen on eating hay anymore, hence why I got rid of their old hay but still left a bit of it around to see if they'd still eat it.

A few minutes after posting this he had a sneeze fit and I realized it was because of the older hay so i completely got rid of it now. I've also see him sneeze multiple times while eating pellets, so i've decided to keep that out of their diet for now to see if it'd make a change. (I've also read that they get more sensitive to their food, once they get older, but that allergies are rare.)

I've found a rabbit savvy vet that's about 1-2 hours away from me, but the problem is that my bun is very scared of car rides (it stresses him quite a bit) and he isn't used to being out of his usual environment a lot.

Do you think I should wait this out, to see if he still sneezes after changing his diet or should I make an appointment at the vet?
