At the moment half of our rabbits are thin, and have rough, patchy coats due to only being partly shed out.
I don't quite understand how they could have lost so much condition though- they are fed a large amount of pellets in the morning, get grass throughout the day, and veggies etc. in the evening. There is always hay available for them to have a nibble on too.
The three that are the worst are a year old dutch buck and two Netherland Dwarfs- one of whom eats hardly anything. Yesterday I went and picked up some crushed flax seed (was going to try it on my older horse anyway, so thought it might benefit the rabbits too?) in the hope that it might improve their coat condition and overall health. But is there anything else I should be doing/feeding them? I'm stumped >.<
