The Rabbit Specialist I went to (i.e David at Piddle Valley) hereafter known as 'The Bunny Wizard' told me 'your rabbits will drop a little weight in the spring naturally as well as their fur'.

I haven't mentioned the size of Little's bum. (She's recently widowed, so she's entitled to be fat for a bit ;) )

i'm glad you posted this because matt has dropped a little weight and has been moulting alot. not loads of weight but he looks smaller.
 
I think thy actually use a lot of energy when moulting so are using more calories as such which is why they can lose a bit of weight.
 
I'm really interested in this thread as I noticed only yesterday that Rolo looks a bit skinnier than normal. Will keep an eye on him as I think he's almost finished moulting now.
