how old is your rabbit,you don't say how old it is is?rabbits have a major problem with there teeth if left to over grow if your rabbit is older than a year i would suspect teeth problems,contact a vet and get your rabbit a full check up.

If your rabbit is eating but still loosing weight it could be worms. A vet visit is a good idea to rule out anything medically wrong. Make sure your rabbit has rabbit food available at all times.

There are a number of reasons that could be. The rabbit could have worms or diarrhea. It could be due to what you are feeding it, or it could even be coccidiosis. You need to take your rabbit to a rabbit savvy vet. If they tell you to feed it vegetables then they aren't rabbit savvy.

Well it can be many things. Do you have other animals that could be bothering her when she tries to eat? Also are you sure she is eating when you do give her food? And do you ever leave after you give her the food? Beacause any of those things could be making her uncomfortable. Also, there is the posibility that she is sick. If none of these things seem to help check with a vet.

Your rabbit may have parasites. Often, puppies and kittens and other new animals have parasites. You might have him/her checked out by your vet. A simple herbal solution is black walnut added to the food.
Hope this helps.

She could have worms. Take her to the vet, have her checked out, see and if she needs any shots. And good luck with her!
