I have a Cal doe about 6 months that I got from a coworker (kid raised for a meat pen.) I have had her for about 1-2 months. Last night when I opened the cage door she started to whimper (my only rabbit that has ever done this.) I took her out and she didn't whimper barely at all. I checked her over and everything looks good. I filled her water and food went to bed. This morning, same thing. She had drank her normal amount of water and had eaten some food. She wasn't interested in a carrot this morning, though. Her poop still looked good. I had had some issues with her a few weeks ago with some digestive issues but some extra hay and she was fine. She is in my 'cool room' so the temp is 76-80F (better that the 90F+ outside.
Is there something I am missing? Is she just not wanting to be taken out of her cage? She has never been a fan of being taken out of her cage but she has never done this whimpering before and the others don't do it. Could it be she is just being hormonal?
My concern is I was planning to take her to the Longview show tomorrow with some other of my rabbits.

Thoughts or ideas?
 
that sounds odd...nothing I have heard og so hopefully someone can help you. Closest I have come to something like that is my three month old little buck whimpers in his sleep once and was twitching...he was fine when I woke him so I figure it was a night mare...as for an awake rabbit I have no clue
 
I have a mutt doe, every time I reach into her pen she starts whimpering.
she dose not do this for any one else.
She has even done this after I put her with the buck.
I just figure she is talking to me.LOL
 
I have a black otter rex doe that hunches and whimpers everytime you try to remove her from her hole, or touch her . . . or look at her too hard. She's just very very flighty. Doesn't like to breed either, hope you don't run into that . . .
 
Whimpering here means that they object to w/e you are doing. Usually hear it for breeding, to tell the buck they don't want him near her. But they tend to only start making that sound when they reach sexual maturity.
