How can you assess if your rabbit is in prime condition?

To assess if a rabbit is in prime condition, several factors come into play, including body weight, coat quality, and general health indicators. While some methods might seem effective, evaluating a rabbit's fur for shine is particularly significant. A shiny and well-groomed coat typically indicates good health and nutrition, reflecting the animal's overall condition.

However, the method of blowing into its fur to see flesh can be misleading and isn't a standard practice for determining a rabbit's health. Instead, checking the fur's shine—indicative of proper grooming and a healthy diet—provides a more reliable assessment of the rabbit's condition.

Additionally, monitoring a rabbit's activity level adds context about its health but doesn’t directly reflect its physical condition in the same way that the quality of the fur does. Overall, the glow of the rabbit's coat serves as a clear indicator of its well-being and helps determine if it is in prime condition.
