Another question...(Y'know, I can keep this thread alive forever!)



He has a lot of loose skin and I was wondering if he was a tad underweight. The skin is springy and I don't think he's dehydrated, but it seems to be laying in 1-2" folds in some parts of his body. I fed him a rabbit that I think was way too big. I got it from from supplier and it was probably just over 6#. It took quite a while to eat that thing. Now he has a sizable lump and is just laying there digesting (no problem, stay in the cage and let the PAM kill some mites). He surely won't eat again for 2-3 weeks, but what would be a more appropriate meal for him?
