Took Ronnie to the vets yesterday for a generally health check (mainly because i wanted him weighed :))

The nurse weighed him and he was 5.3kg... hes 8 months old :) Is this about right?? She said hes at his maximum weight for his size :? But i thought they could get alot heavier than that??

Lola, french lop, was weighed last week before her neuter, the vet aged her at around 15 - 20 weeks, and she weighed 3.2kg... the vet did say however shes in really good condition :)

Any ideas if their weighs are about right?? xXx
 
Hi.
They both sound fine to me, i usually work in lbs not kg but looking at breed standards etc an adult contintental giant will easily grow in excess on 7kg, as yours has a bit of growing left then i would say he is fine, so long as he stays fit and firm and doesn't get fat and saggy then he will be fine.
The Frenchie also sounds about right to me again a lot more grwoing to do, but along the right lines.
