Cant offer any advice but had to LOL at that :lol: :lol:

I'm sure I read somewhere that frenchies grow until they are 12-18 months

Frenchies are about half grown by the time they get to 6- 8 months. They go through a gangly, all out of proportion stage at this age where the back legs and ears do not match the rest of the body, but this is normal. Their skeletal bones are usually fully grown by 12-14 months, but they will continue to fill out up untill the age of 16-18 months and the skull continues to grow untill 18 months as well. At 6 months they should weigh around 8- 10 lbs and by 18 months they can weigh between 14-16 lbs, give or take a lb or so either way. They will start to get their adult coats at around 6 months.

:shock: *faints*..i was sure bertie was my were rabbit..he was 18 months when he cameto me and he was about 10lb/5kg in weight. a stunning REW big nightdress case!! he moves about as much bless him:lol:

The steel buck is Bigwig and the white buck is Lucius. Lucius is 6 months old and as can be seen from the pic is half the size of Wiggy.
