Question
my mini lop rabbit has just had babies and is looking unhealtyly thin. what should i feed her?

Answer
Momma is going to need a lot of energy to properly feed her babies.  Basically, you want to feed her as much of a balanced diet as she'll eat.  That's good veges, a high fiber timothy hay, and a fiber timothy pellet.  

If you can find it in your area, Oxbow is a great high fiber brand of hay and pellet.  For information on good veges see this site: http://www.rabbit.org/care/veggies.html
