Hi just wondering if anyone has experienced a healthy looking rabbit losing weight.
I rescued a mini Rex male rabbit one year old, who was incarcerated in a hutch. He was overweight due to over feeding with pellets and lack of exercise. He now lives in a shed with runaround link to overnight run, and access to his own garden approx 23 ft x 9 ft. He eats like a horse and poos very well, very lively, has been vet checked, inoculated, castrated and wormed. He is currently staying at my friends animal rescue being bonded with a ex breeding doe, which is going well. My friend is concerned that he is looking a bit thin, but still acting very healthily. Her daughters boyfriend is a medium and said he feels a lot of heat in my rabbit, and thinks he is very sick! I am sceptical about mediums but alarmed too. We will monitor my rabbits weight and go to vets if he is still loosing weight.
Does anyone know if rabbits get thyroid problems or Cushing disease or any other metabolic problems ?
Thank you
