Underweight rabbits

Mama Doe
Hello,

2 of my rabbits (Ted and Zinzan - they live in the spare oom) seem to be very underweight, I can't feel any chub on them anywhere. Apart from that they seem healthy and happy. They get fed a handful of pellets each in the morning and veg at night and as much hay as they want.

Teddy is 5 in December and Zinzan is 5 and a half - I wondered if they are just slimmer because they're older?

Any advice/suggestions/comments?
 
They have a normal sized food bowl between them of water which they drink during the day but when I fill it at night it's still full in the morning. No dental problems - Teddy had a couple of bouts of stasis this year and was checked then. They eat all their food, they're just really boney.
