yes, she is under a pound. . . i would guess she is around 1/2 pound, maybe 3/4 pound. . .
i went out to this families house after talking to them because it had sounded like they had a little rabbit that was the same color and look as my first rabbit trixie, and i really wanted to go look at it.
what i found was a family that had little rabbit experiance allowing their 6 year old son to breed his pet rabbits. there were 4babies (out of a litter of 10 i guess) left and not one of them looked like my trixie. there was however one baby that was beyond underweight, very small, and sickly looking. so naturally i brought her home.
the "breeders"were feeding her baby carrots and pellets, she was picked on by her siblings, and just in general bad condition. i just couldn't leave her she would have died. took her to the vet for sneezing and coughing and she is now getting all the food she can eat, tons of fresh water, meds for her upper resp. infection, pedilyte, nutrical, and now has to go back to the vet as she is loosing fur like mad and most of her face is bald now. we are going to get some test done to see if she has mites or another reason for the hairloss. i am also talking with some breeders of astrex fur rabbits about any mutations that fur gene may cause as she has curly/wavy fur so i am checking on that for the possible hair loss
so i think that is all the details i have on her story. . . it is kinda a sad one, but she is happy as a clam now!
