The newest addition to our family was a 3 month old male dutch rabbit; we got him last month. We have two other boys (a mini rex and a netherland dwarf) but they never had this problem. Basically, our little dutch eats, and eats, and eats. He eats almost as much as our other two put together. But he doesnt gain weight. How much should a healthy 4 month old dutch male weigh? Im guessing our little guy weighs about 2lbs at the most. He looks like he doesnt eat, but he eats so much! Were letting him out more often to gain some muscle and all of our buns have as much hay as they want to eat. I never let their hay dish get empty; theres always hay
A side note that may or may not be related too, is that he has some issues we arnt completely sure about yet. He has allergies. We thought it was snuffles at first but it comes and goes and doesnt seem to effect him in the slightest bit. The vet said it was likely allergies and/or he was breathing in too much hay dust while eating. He also walks funny. His back legs looks kinda weak and theyre always pointed out to the sides. Its kind of silly watching him hop or walk. His walk kind of looks like that of a new born giraffe
