Please leave your bunny inside in a bunny proof room or a large enclosure with lots of enrichment. They certainly do not need to be taken out of their familiar environment other than for vet trips. In fact they can get so stressed it can make them very ill. There is no need to take them outside...

Thank you for saving these poor souls!

They don't look underweight, you are supposed to be able to feel their vertebrae. Do not try to fatten them. Try different types of grass hay and reduce the pellets.

Well done! As she is eating lots of hay and not losing weight I would keep her on the small amount of pellets.

She shouldn't lose weight if she has constant access to a variety of fresh grass hay. It could be the particular brand of pellets too, yes, but I would cut way down first and see whether that works rather than changing pellets again. You may need to be patient, these things don't usually resolve...

At least 4 months.

@JBun could it be Shope papilloma virus? Needs surgical removal?

I would definitely cut down pellets to no more than 1 tbsp a day especially as she's a good hay eater.

Please don't breed, especially not rabbits like angora rabbits who are very likely to suffer as very few people will have the time and patience to look after them properly.

Biting bars can cause dental problems. Your best bet is to bunny proof the room and get rid of the cage. You can block access to wires with furniture or use wire covers.

You really don't have any choice. Dental problems cannot be ignored. Your bunny would stop eating eventually. Burring teeth is quite a routine operation and they are not under anaesthesia for very long at all. Hope all goes well.

She wouldn't get sick, don't worry, at worst she might not eat the cilantro if she smells the onion.

Sorry, but this is really bad information. Of course I have been to vets recently. Do you live in London? Go to the Beaumont hospital in Camden. Several great rabbit vets there. And no, it's nowhere near £1,000.

What? There are many good rabbit vets in the UK. See Rabbit Friendly Vet List The risk is extremely low, of the order of 0.1% if you go to a rabbit vet. The cost is not anywhere near £1,000.

Separate them now until 8 weeks after the last one has been neutered.

Sadly, yes. Never separate bonded bunnies.

That’s good news. Please don’t breed. Get her spayed.

Ignore the feeding recommendations on the packaging. Rabbit vets recommend far less. Do you use Burgess Excel? Some bunnies have excess caecotrophes on that. Could try switching to Science Selective perhaps but reducing pellets may be enough.

It sure could, especially if bunnies are in a small space with nowhere to hide.

Try cutting pellets down to 1 tbsp a day. Diet is probably too rich.
