Hey folks! I have a Silver Fox buck that is about 15 weeks old. He's my only rabbit at the moment since we're still waiting on his little girlfriends from the breeder.
Anyway, I think he's a little too skinny. I haven't weighed him, but I'm pretty sure he's dropped some weight since I brought him home at the beginning of April since he's feeling more bony. The breeder said to quit free feeding him at 16 weeks, but I won't do that until I get his weight back up.
He is acting totally fine, no diarrhea, etc. He is currently eating 18% pellets from Southern States, which is exactly what the breeder was feeding him. He also has free choice hay, orchard grass at the moment.
So, my question is, if I'm already feeding him all the pellets and hay he wants, how do I put some weight on him?
