Why doesn't my bunny hop?

1 Answer

Answer :

He’s a baby. Keep an eye on him though. I rescued a kitten once who had a birth defect that left him with two totally crippled back legs. He was never able to walk and I had to have him put down. But I really think the issue with your bunny is really nothing to worry about. He will most likely be fine. And BTW, are you sure the mother isn’t around any more? It might be too late anyway. Take good care of him.
