Hi there. I have a 12 year old Netherland Dwarf who is my heart bunny. He is my first bunny that I saved from a reptile shop and back then we didn't know half as much as we know now about bunnies. I have made all the typcial mistakes with him and he has survived this long.
Everytime we found out we were doing something wrong, we corrected it right away. He's tough and has kept on going all of these years. I love him more than any other.
He is blind now in both eyes, doesn't move around alot and sleeps most the days. He won't use the litter pan anymore, so we use palace pet bedding, which really doesn't bother me at all.
My dilemma is that he is skin and bones. He can't seem to keep any weight on. He eats all of his pellets (alfafa), any treats I give him including oats, which I heard help put on weight.
Does anyone have any other tips for a senior guy who can't gain weight? I appreciate any insight you all might have!
Thanks
