my mini rex rabbit

Question
my rabbit still hasn't lost its baby weight after it had its litter last summer, she also lost a lot of muscle on her back. why could that be? could it be because of how old she is? she is a mini rex, 6 or 7 years old. i have it exercise everyday. and i feed it a healthy diet.

Answer
Dear Alex,

I would take the bunny to an experienced rabbit vet for a full checkup:

www.rabbit.org/vets

to see if she is the proper weight nor not.  Diet is an important factor, and you can see a healthy diet overview here:

If she's not getting enough exercise, then that could account for loss of muscle tone, so be sure she has plenty of space (and time!) to run free and exercise.

Hope this helps.
