You are here:
I have 4 house rabbits and experience with rabbit pregnancy, babies, bunny bonding, litter training, behavior training, cage and cage-free living, bunny proofing your home, basic health and diet, spaying/neutering, bunny talk, and bunny fun. I have neutered and spayed my rabbits and have dealt with amputations, broken bones, holistic pain management with rabbits so i can give you advice for surgery aftercare, BUT I am NOT a Veterinarian and cannot give you in depth answers on health, biology, or medicines.
If you suspect something is wrong with your rabbit please do not wait - go to the vet immediately. Signs include bleeding, broken bones, watery diarrhea, no poop for more than 12 hours, not eating/drinking, un-responsive/lethargic/listless behavior, screaming, constant LOUD teeth chatter. Be safe not sorry. Go to the vet!
I love rabbits and am here to help you have the best bunny experience you can with your pet. I deal only with pet rabbits and do not endorse hobby breeding/breeding for fun. I do NOT support breeding operations regardless of their purpose. My rabbits are valued members of my family. They live cage free.
Je parle français.
With four house rabbits I have experienced everything from false pregnancy, to real pregnancy, obesity in rabbits, cold/dead kits, nursing baby rabbits and raising them to adulthood. I am also involved in the rescue rabbit rehoming project in my area. We help rescue rabbits find loving homes. I have come in contact with a lot of rabbit situations through this association.

I'm a volunteer at my local Animal Shelter /Spec. Rabbits
I have two un-related bunny degrees. B.A. in Political Science and a B.F.A. in Graphic Design

I don't think your rabbit is acting crazy. Your rabbit should be able to pass proper poop. If your rabbits bottom is covered in hardened poop it may not be you that your rabbit is reacting to but the pain
What do your rabbits' poops look like? are they dry and round and raisin sized? or are they mushy? Is the matted areas dirty with poop? or more yellow from pee? There are three things under question
You need to be providing unlimited timothy hay. Hay is a staple of a rabbits diet and should make up 75% of the rabbits intake of food. You have not told me how old your rabbit is so I am going to
Bunnies means plural - how many and what sexes? Sometimes this can be a marker of territory - Do you have other pets in the house? I have two sets of rabbits and sometimes they can smell the other rabbits
fussed? I suspect you have one of those cages which has a 'god' window - The opening from above? A rabbit has a blind spot above its head and you could be freaking out your rabbit by the hand coming
