Concentrated foods such as fruits and certain vegetables are the main causes of rabbits gaining too much weight. They can also get fat by eating too many treats and certain types of pelleted feed.
Rabbits should be eating mostly grass and hay. Other foods should be fed in moderation. For more information about rabbit diet, please read the short article at the link below:

I hope that helps and all is well with Egg.
