Is Bubbles f.a.t?

I was watching Bubbles run round the garden today and noticed her dewlap has turned into a double dewlap. She's quite a big bodied bun, with very fine legs. She's a complete animal with food and will eat anything!! I'm also wondering if she could be the reason behind Barney's mystery weightloss :idea::idea:

Bubbles: commonly known as Miss Piggy!!

If she's spayed and the double dewlap is new, it could be that she's being a piggy then, although she doesn't look huge in that pic. Can you separate them for a few moments for Barney to get some food, and get hold of a couple of treat balls for the food, that would help restrict her piggyness. I'd also suggest weighing them regularly so you can tell if they are gaining/losing, and a vet check for Barney if he hasn't been recently, he may have something like an early dental problem which is making him eat more slowly - and she is taking advantage!

Barney had his teeth checked about 10 days ago and they are perfect. I thought he had a dental problem which was causing his weightloss. I think I'm going to feed them seperately and maybe put bubbles on excel lite. Hopefully Barney will put a bit of weight on!
 
She don't look fat. Hattie is fat, check it out..

:shock::shock:
Shes lost abit of weight since this photo, but look how big she was
 
She doesn't look overly fat I agree, but she's starting to put on some more weight. She eats like a starved animal, I have never known a rabbit like her!
