small head

[LeelowsBunnies]

I know it's probs nothing wrong, but my dwarf lop head is so small compared to his body, and my sister ones have a lot bigger head then mine when their's was the age Jelly is now(12 weeks)

I got him when he was 7weeks old, well thats what the breeder said, he was weaned of his mum at 5weeks, way to early I know.

Am I just worrying to much, I just love my Jelly so much.

I think you are. Are the two rabbits from the same litter? If not then there really isnt a way to say hers is bigger. Rabbits differ so much in body style, etc. that even rabbits in the same breed have a lot of variation in proportions. Is it abnormally small? He's acted fine so far right?

Until they;re older, their body parts are changing, so something could be temporarily out of proportion.

Any photos? 5 weeks isn't too early to wean, but selling at such a young age is very stressful to young bunnies.

I agree with this. Mocha had a small head and big body as a baby and now she's all proportioned correctly. I wouldn't worry if bun is behaving normally.

I had a bun whose head appeared smallish because the fur on her body was so long and dense. She was poofy, but in actuality, she was well proportioned.
