Hi, we are new to the bunny world and have recently got a dwarf lop bunny, but something does not seem right to me. she is very quiet although she is starting to move around more now, is really boney and has a really small head compared to the rest of her body, also her body is really arched, i have seen loads of pictures of other d lops and they do not look like her,they have much bigger headsand straighter bodies. At eight weeks should she feel really boney. I have two other rabbits that are incredibly different to her, i know they are different breeds but they have never been boney. She does not seem to eat very much either,my others eat all day. Any opinions would be Helpful. thanks
