6 year old Holland lop doe who won't keep weight on.

[kritter-keeper]

I have a 6 year old holland lop doe who is skinny.
what can I do, she get two cups of rabbit pellets a day and hay and I've been giving her some veggies we had in the fridge. ever since this winter she's been on the thin side.
I feel bad for her but don't know what to do.... Help.....

I would take her to the vet, it sounds like there is something else going on. 2 cups a day is a *ton* of food for a holland - she should be obese on that amount.

she is big for a hollland she used to weigh around 5 or 6 pounds so she's more the size of a mini lop....
and I'm not sure if she's eating all of her food....

6 years of age is getting up there for a Holland Lop. I would consider that now that she's older, she may not be able to metabolize her food as well. Nutrical for cats/dogs is an excellent calorie supplement for geriatric rabbits.
