Yesterday we took a bunny in foster who needs a home. He came with the plane from the east part of Iceland but was completely fine after the flight, eating and drinking, doing toilet etc.
He is a rex mix of about 1,5 years and he lost his brother a while ago, with whom he had been living. The owner told be that after his brother died he almost stopped eating and started loosing furr... He was an outside bun there. He looks like a little rag doll, nothing but bones sticking out
When he came home to us, he started eating (hay) and drinking like crazy! He is drinking more than a big bottle of water per day which is much more than my other buns... I am very happy that he is eating and drinking but is he drinking excessively? And how should we make him put on weight? Do you think that loads of hay etc. will do it?
Thanks,
Sandra
