Hi does anyone know if theres info on what weight a breed of rabbit should be at what age?

[katt]

well, what breed?

weight depends entirely on the breed of rabbit. . .you give us the breed and age, and we can tell you. . .

you can also try looking at the bunny breeds section

i think that the weight of the breeds are listed in each one.

Dwarf lop, approx 13 weeks. Currently weighs 4lbs ish. What should she weigh and how much at 6 months etc?

Are you from the UK? A dwarflop should really betopping out 4 or 5 pounds, so it sounds like you may have a large dwarfthere .

Hi. Yes I am in the UK. I'd read that they topout at about 5lbs which is why i thought I'd better ask. The vet we sawlast week said that she was a good size and not over weight but sheweighs 4lbs now and she's only a baby. We bought her as a 'dwarf lop'could she be a different breed?

4 lbs at 13 weeks? Must be cross-bred with a French lop.:shock:

 

[Porpy]

:shock:- does that mean a very big bunny then?

 

[NZminilops]

In a word - yes . Someone correct me if I amwrong but I think french lops get to 9 pounds or so? But that's stillnot a huge rabbit, just big'n'cuddly.

I think a senior French Lop doe should be 12+lbs. I know on the weekend their was a breeder at the show with acouple of 16 lbs Frenchies.

Ok :shock:, I stand corrected! Frenchies are huge .

 

[Porpy]

:shock:!!! But if she's a cross maybe she'll be on the smaller side....
