Can it affect their growth...
I picked up some baby rabbits today to take over to a rescue. I was shocked by how small they were.They are 13 weeks old and look around 7 weeks old, they were tiny! I don't think the owner was lying because the buck had testicles that were close to dropping, but they were scarily small rabbits.
I wondered where she kept the others, then she opened a small outhouse that was in her yard (about 4ft by 5ft) and they were in there. The parent rabbits were far too small and I was told they were a year old but I have never ever seen rabbits of their breed that are so small. The five week old kits that were there could fit on the palm of my hand. I am worried that they are kept most of the time in that outhouse and it is pitch black as there is no natural sunlight, or any light at all.
