Question
Dear Dave , i have a 23 week old female lop bought from pets at Home. She has been eating and running around lovely until last week. She has become very quiet lack of appetite and no running around binkying. She has lost weight and her poos have become very small sometimes stuck together. she is now very cuddly and loves her cheeks stroked.The vet didnt know quite what to think and just said high fibre diet. She seems to just pick at her hay im so worried about her weight loss. I usually give her a very small piece of fruit each day and greenery. I have stopped that and just put hay in her cage today. Please can you tell me where im going wrong x

Answer
Hi adele she must have a dry rabbit mix in her cage besides the hay so she can chew on it if she ant to.
Cutting out the fruit and green is right as these can make her poo all soft and runny.
Give her another 2-3 days and if you think she is getting woes I would have her to the vet agin as it my be more serious
