  So I’m fairly new to the world of bunnies and I was slightly concerned about my little Winnie’s weight. She physically appears pretty lean and healthy, but I’ve always noticed how you could somewhat feel her ribs underneath all the fluff. So I’m just curious… is this normal? Or is this a sign of her being underweight??

  No, you should be able to feel the ribs and the spine. The pelvis/hip bones shouldn’t protrude visibly though.
  Here is a little picture guide on how to determine if your bun is the right weight:
