Bobby is getting huge, I haven't weighed her yet, as I am waiting for scales to arrive:shock:... but she seems MASSIVE! Not fat just big all of a sudden she is about 8 months now
 
i have just had mine speyed and the vet warned me that they need less calories after they have been speyed and that they should have regular weight checks.......bunny is already a little overwieght before her spey. :roll:
 
Rum's been the same.

Rum and wifey are having a 'who can eat the most' competition, both have considerably pied out recently!
 
I read that spaying slows their metabolism down, so they either eat less food and keep a steady weight, or eat the same amount and get podgy.

I remember after I had Poppy spayed, she never ate as much as she had before.

Depends on your doe's age though :)
