Hi! I have a 9year old dwarf holland lop rabbit. He will be Ten in February. How old is your rabbit? Your feed sounds fine, thats exactly what I give my rabbit and he is still very active after 10years. You should try supplimenting the carrots with lettuce, timothy hay, ect. How big is your cage? It should have enough room for your rabbit to run around. Do you let you rabbit run around outside? My rabbit get time to run around and excersise. In my area, I have to be very careful because He is always spotted by a hawk or other bird of prey. If you have the same problem or you are worried about your rabbit taking off, you should buy a harness for her. However, if you do all that I mentioned, your rabbit's declining activity may be due to a health problem ,like arthritus. Hope thid helped! I wish you lots of luck!

i had a rabbit i had to get rid of him but i would feed him...

-baanans
-lettuse
-carrots
-appels
-oranges
-celery
-spagity
-rabbit pellets

we would make up a whole dish of thing cut up, banans and spaggity were a treat he didn't get them too often.

we would also walk my rabbit on a cat harnest and people would get a kick out of that i would also take him for walks on the trails in a stroller, with his harnest on.

sadly i had to get ride of him...after i got my dog she just wouldn't leave me baby alone, she would jump at the cage and bark, and i didn't want Avery to suffer no more...so we had him for breakfast...JUST KIDDING! HAHA I FOLLED YOU!!! no i found him a home about 1 hour away and the lady owned a day care and she wanted a pet for her room, and my rabbit was perfect,gosh i miss him...

Fruit and a few carrots are not enough. Your rabbit needs to be fed more vegetables- variety! Lettuce, bell peppers(any color), cucumber, cilantro, endive, zucchini, tomatoe, parsley, dill and brocolli are good.

Hello I have raised rabbits and shown them in 4-H for 10+ years. I must ask how old your bunny is? and the diet you are giving your bunny is fine. I always tell people not to feed their rabbits lettuce or cabbidge. It can give them diharria. A nother thing about food DO NOT feed your rabbits purple clover. you know with th little purple flowers it is VERY toxic to rabbits and will kill them. Also how often do you have him out to play? you know run around a seccured area for extra exercise.

Hello you have a little problem don't you. May i suggest going to the pet store and bying some if those chew wood things. the store should be able to help you find them. or if you don't want to spend the money put an empty pop can in there with him. Or you know the cat toy balls with bells in them get him some of those so he's got something to do. I hope this helps you.
