My daughter got an adorable 4 month old lop eared bunny last week. She seemed healthy, happy & energetic - until this morning when I went in to feed her some timothy hay. She was laying down, in her indoor cage, eyes open, & when I pet her she felt stiff, like dead. She didn't blink or move!! I rubbed her vigorously, but she still didn't move. So I picked her up & she finally snapped out of it & seemed ok. I set her down & she hopped around then ate her hay & drank some water like nothing was wrong.

Is this normal? It sure scared the wits out of me! Do rabbits sleep so hard they appear dead? Or what could it be? Has anyone seen this happen before? Should I take her to a vet?
