Do you have a picture of how she looks now? She looks like a dwarf in your avatar, but sometimes very young mixed breeds can fool you. Unfortunately, that's not uncommon.

I believe, but I could be wrong, that they reach their full length by about that age, and then fill out, reaching their full size at about 2years? (that's what ours seem to do, but of course they could be contrary).

This is taken from the BRC (British Rabbit Council) website but I'm not sure if this varies across countries as to show specs.

'WEIGHT (Note for guidance, the weight of an ideal Adult exhibit should be as near as possible to kg 1.0 - (21b) ).Disqualification - over kg 1.134 (2.1/21b) Adult.'

My nethie's are mostly bigger than that, because we have got some throw backs (i.e. nethies were bred down from larger rabbits so a throw back is an unproportionately large rabbit).

Hope that helps.
