Weight...

I got a netherland doe yesterday and she needs to gain some weight and she is rather thin, i feed all my other on 'heygate rabbit pellets' and as much hay as they want, shes eating all that. I was thinking about buying some redi-grass for her, would this help her at all?

Has she had a Vet check to establish if there might be an underlying health issue which could be contributing to her low weight ?

If you introduce Redigrass do so very gradually. It is high in protein and could cause bloat if a Rabbit eats too much of it, especially if they have never had it before.

I think im going to give redigrass a miss as she is eating her hay and food fine and she happily ate a carrot today, she went to the vets today and the vets were happy with her health all they said was she needs to gain a little amount of weight :D
