Yes, I agree, this bun looks very thin and unthrifty. It is possible that he may have parasites or some other issue going on. Is there any way you can get a rabbit-appropriate dewormer in India? I like to use feline Revolution which is a topical treatment for cats and very safe and effective used on rabbits--can you order this online?
