Are they eating at all? Are they lethargic?

 

[iloveallrabbits]

You should give them some Nutrical. Doyou have any on hand? If you don't have Nutrical, try cannedpumpkin. They need something in their bellies. Youwill have to syringe it to them. If they aren't drinking, youwill have to syringe that as well. Any poops?

 

[iloveallrabbits]

that is what i dont understand they have a ton of poop but they arent gaining iny weight

when you mean canned pumpkin do you mean like pumpkin pie filling?

pamela

 

[Nicky Snow]

not the pie filling cause that has sugar and stuff in it. plain canned pumpkin. you can also try oats

 

[Lissa]

What does their poop look like? Is itnormal sized? Are they up and running? I guess I'mnot really understanding what's wrong if they are eating andpooping.

If they are eating, and pooping well you couldtry boosting their calories with oats. I remember someonerecomended it last summer when their rabbits were getting skinny.

I sounds like they just need morecalories. Are you feeding vegtables, pelets andhay? A few treat won't hurt but try not to get them hooked onthem.

Could they have a tapeworm or something? If you are concerned you should definitely make a vet visit.

 

[iloveallrabbits]

Make sure they are rolled oats and not quick oats.
