No experience of this breed.....how big would you expect a 6 months old doe to be?

Blimey.

So at four months about the size of a large dwarf lop then ? :?
 
Not sure about ultimate sizes, but i'd expect them to be pretty quick growers - based on what people usually breed NZ whites for.
 
Not sure of the growth rates, but ' think' they can reach 10-12lb when adults. I've never owned one, but have heard they are a bit like Frenchies in their temperment.

WalnutEarth626, would you say my Scipio is a pure NZWhite or not?
To me, he has the same look about him, but seems a little small... :?

Im trying to work out where to put a pair of them :? owner has only had them about 6 weeks and apparently she 'didnt realise they would cost so much'.

They are not neutered or vaccs so what excatly she is spending money on is a bit of a mystery :rolleyes:
 
Oh it gets better....

'Has she been neutered?'
'Has she been what?'
'Speyed, sterilised?'
'I dont know what that means?'

'Have they had their jabs?'
'I didnt know they needed any.'

:? :? :? :?

:shock: :shock: :shock: I knew what neutering was when I was younger, and I'd only ever had hamsters!!! So they werent neutered but at least I knew what it was!
 
Ive got a NZ cross with a giant and she weighs 6.5Kg.

She's a super bunny!

I adopted her from the P@H board - no-one wanted her because she was so big! She weighed 2.91Kg at about 15 weeks, but she is a cross so I think maybe true NZ are slightly smaller.

I LOVE her so much:love: life wouldnt be so happy or fun without her!

Definaltey the best decision I ever made!

She's a house bun too :lol:

No, I wouldn't have said so. NZWs are were bred for pelt as well as meat, so have very thick dense coats with long harsh guard hairs. Your boy looks to have quite a short soft coat so I would guess hes another pretty cross.
