Rabbits to go on a diet!!

I've just seen this on the bbc website. No wonder he doesn't have any interest in exercising, it must be so hard for him to move about :(
Beautiful buns though!
 
How can anyone think it's right to let any rabbit get like that :shock: This to me is as bad as any of the other examples of not looking after rabbits properly. It makes you wonder if the rabbits were ever taken to a vet.

I really hope that they are successful in getting their weight down. Sadly, I suspect there is already some damage done to joints etc.
 
Wow :shock: Never seen a rabbit that overweight before I don't think. Well at least she's realized and is making a change in the right direction.

Yes, any vet worth their salt should've commented.
Joint problems is what I would fear. I hope they will be OK and have an active future to look forward to :)
 
I did mistake a bunny for a dog in the pub over the river's garden once: I thought 'that Westie's moving weird?' then realised it was a large white bunny with a harness on! I got super overexcited and called Matt to come and see :D It was a big rabbit though, rather than just fat ;P That was in our previous house ;)
 
If we had animals this over weight come into practice, and they wouldn't take our advice to help the pet lose weight we had to report them under the animal welfare act :(

I remember a very large doe come into rescue. She hadn't been spayed and had an enormous dewlap.

Her owner (who was giving her up) proudly told me that she loved eating maltesers :shock:
(the rabbit that is, not the owner)
