Question
My rabbit has recently lost a lot of weight once i gave her mostly carrots and lettuce is that okay?

Answer
Dear Mia,

A rabbit needs more than carrots and lettuce to survive.  It sounds as if you are starving her to death.  Please read this immediately:

Your rabbit needs pellets, hay, a constant supply of clean water in a *heavy bowl*, not a bottle, and constant monitoring to be sure she is eating properly.

Good luck, and please take good care of your bunny.

Sincerely,

Dana
