My Flemish boy is 9 weeks old tomorrow, I noticed this morning while I was holding him he feels a little thin....not skinny by any stretch but I can easily feel his backbone. Does this mean he is too thin? Or just right? Can thin-ness be normal for some buns? He eat's fine, plays fine, and when we first brought him home his exam and fecal were normal. Am I worrying for nothing?
 
You should be able to feel a rabbits back bone and ribs, but the should feel like smooth bumps, like you're feeling through a thick cloth. If it's sharp and feels like it's poking through the skin that would be a sign of being under weight.
