  My bunny Lucy seems very skinny to me. She chows down on Timothy hay, pellets, and the few pieces of lettuce we give her, and whatever specks of food she can scavenge off our floor before we can catch her. She is still very playful but I can feel her spine and her hip bones if I pet her lightly. Her poops have been weird in the last couple of days. Any ideas anyone??

  How much did she weigh the last time you took her to the vet? You can compare her weight now to see if there is a real problem or not.

  I would recommend a vet visit… There are many conditions that can cause weight loss and catching them early can make a huge difference.. It could be something like an intestinal parasite that can be treated with medication or it could be something more sinister that treated now can be fully resolved but left untreated may be fatal. (Not trying to scare you). It could be something as easy as adding some variety to her greens…
  Any time you have a concern like that I think a vet check is the best option..
