Rabbit sold as 30 days old has not peed or pooped 6 or 7 hours after coming home
I responded to the other post. I hope your rabbit enjoys their new home.

New rabbit has not peed or pooped in its first 8 hours home but is eating and curious
Sorry to hear about your rabbit. It could be from the stress of moving and new environment. If they continue to not eat or drink they should be evaluated by a veterinarian.

Young rabbit limping on a back leg after a fall: emergency tonight or wait for an exotic vet?
I replied to the other post about Pumpkin. Sorry the timeframe to reply is past what you were concerned about. He doesn't seem to be showing direct signs of emergency management so a vet visit as soon as you're able to should be fine. If he shows any signs of loss of appetite and decreased defecation, then he needs to go to your closest emergency vet.

Rabbit with a swollen cheek near the eye: how urgent is it?
I would highly recommend getting this rabbit evaluated by a veterinarian as soon as possible as I'm concerned about an active infection.
