Perry,
Try some green beans and peas. You could throw some carrot and lima beans on their salad as well. We use the frozen mix containing all of these veggies and corn. We thaw it out in warm water, drain, and put a little on their greens a few times a week.
Also, like Maureen said, you might want to have a fecal sample checked for parasites.
Typically, with wild caught chucks that loose weight, it will take much longer for them to gain the weight back than it took for them to loose it. We have gone through this before with a few wild caughts. You just have to be patient. If she is free of parasites, and eats well, it should just be a matter of time.

Good luck.
Nick & Austin
