Do they have unlimited hay? What type of "veggies" and how much? I am trying to understand your post. Do you have 5 rabbits? Are they fixed? Outdoor or indoor? What type/brand of pellets do you feed?

It's like romaine lettuce spring mix collar greens cilantro parsley bell peppers & a apple or banana dice size once a day with a oxbow treat

Your flemish are still growing and will be until a year to 15 months old, so it's ok to feed them a high amount of pellets, as they can use the extra nutrients and protein for growth, provided they are also eating a pile of hay the size of their body per day to provide the fiber needed for good gut health, and maintaining a healthy body weight.

How old are your bonded 3 and what breed are your two 4-5 lb rabbits? Do all 5 rabbits eat a pile of hay the size of their body per day? Besides the one that lost weight, have you checked the body condition/weight of your other rabbits to make sure they're maintaining a healthy body weight? Do all rabbits fecal balls look to be a healthy size and consistency(not hard, crumbles apart if smooshed)?

My 2 4-5 pounds are brother & sister too lionhead & dutch the sister looks more like a lion head and the brother is slightly bigger as a Dutch he lost 2 pounds from 5 to 3 pounds we did a blood test and e cuniculi test and everything came out okay he just dropped 2 pounds so I'm just seeing if I fed them the right amount and my flemish rabbits love their pellets more then hay so usually I have to throw away hay and give them new everyday my Netherland dwarf is the same with with his hay but my lionhead Dutch mixes eat the 5 handfuls cause they share a litter box while my dwarf will not share & that I have to give them twice and they are a year old the other rabbits haven't lost weight and they have golden brown droppings but my flemish one have more of a dark color they are all big sometimes my dwarf can do smaller droppings then normal ones he's a year too
