oats

When people say they give their bunny oats to help them put on weight, how much do you give normally, how often and *silly question* are they dry oats or made into a mash with water?

I have a slightly sickly bun - she's had blood and urine tests, but nothing came up. She gets lots of UTI and looks a little underweight and her fur is always a bit straggly/half moulted.

I was thinking of giving her some oats. Any other advice?
 
when duchey had them after being ill i started with a teeny amount of dry oats a couple of times a day and increased it to about a dessertspoon full a couple of times a day. not sure if that is too little or too much but it helped her put on the weight she had lost through being ill :)

hope you bun is feeling better soon :D
 
Evo doesn't have them to put on weight, but has a very small pinch as a treat. He lurves them, and I hide them in his hay so he has to snuffle through and find them.
