Answer 2

It sounds like it could be  Mucoid Enteritis this is one of the commonest killers of rabbits, especially those under 6 months of age. Isolated cases may be triggered by stress, such as moving to a new home, fighting with another rabbit, changes in diet etc., but there is also an infectious form that can kill high numbers within a herd. The onset of symptoms is sudden, and include some or all of the following: loss of appetite, few or no droppings, small misshapen droppings, sitting huddled in a corner or stretched out in obvious pain, bloated stomach, diarrhoea, jelly-like substance (mucus) being passed. This condition is extremely serious and the rabbit must be taken immediately to the vet. 60% of rabbits under 6 months of age affected with this illness die, adults having a better recovery rate with 30% fatalities.

Answer 3

Oh gosh, it sounds to me like he may have developed colic!

This is otherwise known as twisted gut, his stomache hurts horribly right now, and it may have been caused by him being over fed, only feed him 1/4 cup of pellets a day, from now on, but for a few days only give him hay, no pellets at all.

I would rush him to a vet-Now, yes- Colic is a serious case, and he could die.

I'm not certain if it is colic, but you better hurry.

Answer 4

My guinea pig has this berry and nut mix that bloats her a lot, but it's also available for rabbits, if you are feeding your rabbit berries and nuts with it's pellets and hay, stop.  That might be what's doing it.
