my brothers rabbit

Question
Dear lia Harvey,
My brother's rabbit is very thin and so was mine. I am worried about my brother's rabbit. But she eating and drinking fine.

why do you think she is soo skinny?

Answer
Celeste,

What makes you think your brother's rabbit is too thin? Some breeds are built to look thin and "racy" such as the Britannia Petite or the Belgian Hare. What breed is your brother's rabbit? Are her ribs protruding and easily seen?  

If you believe that your brother's rabbit is too thin, I suggest increasing the amount of food that she is being fed daily. Is her food limited daily or is she free fed?

If the rabbit is free fed and still very thin, she may have an internal parasite. Check her fecal material for worms. You may need to take her to a vet if you suspect an internal parasite.
