Keep an eye on her to be safest.

Did she have an exceptionally busy day the day before? It is not unusual for some individuals to have days of extreme activity and then be exhausted the next day. If that is all that it is then all is fine.

Had she perhaps eaten something she should not but was lucky enough to pass it? One common cause of lethargy among kits is a blockage, a potentially dangerous problem.

Is she now active, eating, drinking, defecating? Are her stools of normal size and width?

If her stools stop or she stops eating or drinking get to the vet immediately. The window for tackling a complete blockage is a narrow one.

Her activity today is good sign.
