    Hello!

    Rabbits are prone to overgrown incisors (Large front teeth) and/or the molars (Back teeth). When overgrown, they are unable to eat, groom, become depressed etc and weight loss is evident. It's possible this may be the problem.

    I would advise that you make an appointment with your vet as soon as possible. Rabbits can develop 'gut stasis' if they havn't eaten for a while etc so it's very important your rabbit is seen as treatment would be required

    Let me know how you go..
