I could do with some RU words of wisdom.:wave:
As some of you may remember, Minnie McPhee came into rescue a couple of months ago as she was going to be PTS because of her bad teeth - at the time she was 11 weeks old. We were told she was a mini lop, she may be mini but a lop she aint!
At 14 weeks she had her incisors out and has made a remarkable recovery, hours after surgery she was sitting in the litter tray munching her way through hay bless her. Pre surgery she bonded herself to my pair Cassie and Kermit and the three lived happily together until we tragically lost Cassie at Easter.
The duo have adapted well to being a pair and really love each other. They are currently living as indoor bunnies, are fed on SS pellets, meadow hay, treat hays and daily veg/herbs. My concern is that Minnie McPhee is not gaining weight, despite eating well, she currently weighs just over 1kg and is about 20 weeks old. I hand feed their SS pellets so I can monitor how many she is having and she munches her way through her veg and hay. They have just been Panacured as a precautionary measure and her molars have been checked and are fine.
My question is what can I do to get some weight onto her? This isn't a problem I've come across before so any help or advice would be most welcome.
