[Camarie]

Ok so the babies are getting a little bigger but just so i know they are growing like they are supposed to i have some questions.

1. at 1 month/2 months/3 months what should be their weight?

2. These guys eat like monters but I dont want to over feed them, right now what should their eating habbits daily including pellets/hay/salad and what should be included in their salad so they get the most nutrion out of what i feed them?

3. When should they be seperated cause they are the oposite sex?

4. Can they eat grass when they go outside(it's clean grass)?

5. How much play time outside their cageshould they get right now?

At 2 months mine were 2 and 3 pounds each.

I would free feed until they're fully grown.

I personally did when Chubbs started mounting.

Sure!

As much as they can. If you're home let them out.

lol i asked the food question cause i will throw greens in their cage about 5 times a day at max lol they are always hungry. I let them out for awhile after each time i feed them and i play with them. I would love to take them outside but its been in the 90's and well i want them to stay cool. oh and i have one more question

6.What size cage do they need when they are full grown and does anyone have pics of their wood cages i would perfer that then the NIC for these two?

At 8 weeks (2 months) I expect my babies to be between 5 and 6 lbs. By 3 months, they should be 7-8 lbs...

I give my babies unlimited pellets and hay. My personal preference is not to give them any salads (fresh greens/fruit) until they are over 5 months or 10 lbs.

Separate them at 14-16 weeks of age. They don't develop as fast as smaller breeds and the boys aren't really ready to breed until 3 1/2 - 4 months of age. The girls aren't ready until almost 7 months.

If they are used to greens, it shouldn't bother them, just watch their droppings.

Watch them and bring them in before they start getting stressed. They do get tired.

I don't wean my Flemish until they are at least 8 weeks old. I think the longer they stay with the mom, the better.

Well i did get some formula from my vet and the bunnies dont really like it at all. They rather eat the pellets/hay/salad lol and i mean they love their salads everytime i come into the room they come to the cage looking for food. Their droppings are normal i have been watching it very carfully. I am very carfully watching their weight and they only seem to be getting bigger and they always have a full tummy.

8 weeks= 5/6 lbs....well i got 4 weeks to go till then.

We weighed our sandy kits weekly from 4 weeks to 10 weeks, and it wasn't unusual in the first month to have them nearly doubling their weight every week and a half. At 4 weeks most were around 10-11oz., at 8 weeks more like 5 or 6 pounds. They are now six months and several are approaching senior weight!
