Firstly, there is NOTHING medically wrong but..
I have noticed recently since I dropped Caspers pellet intake (1/8-1/4 of a cup) and upped veggies he has lost a little weight, so I went back to the usually gradually upping the pellets and keeping veggies where they were and he dosent seem to be gaining anything, so I was wondering if there was anything I can give him to give him a little boost?
A few things I thought about were:
Veggie broth
Vegetable baby food
Plain yoghurt (non dairy, opinions please)
Higher calorie pellets
and I have had sucess with SUPREME recovery food (the stuff used after operations for GP's and Rabbits to put weight back on )

Any ideas that is easy to find in the uk?


 
I think the after surgery food here is called critical care. if you can mix Supreme into his pellets that should help him put on some weight
Some of our members use sunflower seeds but I have never used it.
Don't use yogurt as a bun can't digest it.
Hope others come up with some other suggestions.

We have a product here call nutrical made as a food supplement and appetite stimulant for dogs and cats. A similar product would be useful..

Try giving him a teaspoon of rolled oats mixed with his pellets (dry cooking Quaker Oats). Do not use the instant oatmeal or the flavored oatmeal. The oats can add a little weight on him.
