    If everything else was good, I’d still suspect the teeth. Some buns have very sensitive mouths and will become picky if they have even very small spurs. The bun might still eat but not as much as she ideealy should, and she might not chew the food as properly as she should – that can in turn affect weight and how the stomach/intestines process the food.

    How does her poop look? Any changes in size, shape and/or amount?

    It’s often difficult to determine how much hay a bunny actually eats, since we always give a surplus.
