  This is Pom Pom. How can I fatten him up a bit? He grazes in the garden all day, then comes in for Timothy Hay and pellets. Lots of treats. I would say he is 2.5 pounds and 6 months old. Does he look too skinny to you or is that common in dwarf? He hasn’t been to the vet yet. He seemed to nearly die of a heart attack when we pulled him out of the bushes as part of a rescue 1+ month ago. Whereas the other larger bunnies were fine, he was limp for about 30 minutes. So now I baby him and worry too much? Otherwise completely active, happy part of our family.

  It’s hard to tell from the photos, but to me he looks like he has good body and coat condition, and that weight is in the normal range for a dwarf. Can you easily feel his spine and hip bones? A vet visit would be the best way to assess a healthy weight for him and discuss a plan for getting him to gain weight, because if he is underweight there could be a medical reason for it (like parasites etc.).

  He looks like a normal, young, lean bunny to me.
