Last Thursday I put my rabbits into a boarding place for the weekend, I collected them on the Sunday. That Same day I had to open a new bag of SS nuggets.
I have noticed neither of them seem to be eating them. I check the sell by date on the bag...........its got ages to go. They dont normally refuse new nuggets. There still the same kind.
I've also just noticed the fur under Leons chin is hanging down as if its a little dewlap, I've never noticed this before............is this because he's losing weight?
Sammy looks fine, Leon does look a little scronier but he is shedding a lot and tends to look that way.
I have another sealed bag of nuggets, should I open them and try them?

They are still eating there veg and hay, poops are a little smaller though!
 
Try a different bag, and if they are still not eating them then I think a check up at the vets is what I would do..
 
I was watching Leon having a snack and he ate two nuggets, yippee! definitley not eating as much though.
Do you think there upset coz I sent the away :shock: I know they were definitley taken good care of, I saw where they were staying and they got to go out in runs too, so they werent shut away.
The woman did have a pet cat wondering about though:shock: dont think the cat was interested but they woulndt be used to that.
