We can't tell, to be honest. Even with a specific breed, the weights specified for that breed are show quality weights and individual rabbits may be purebred but vary from that weight.

You're better off looking at their general health, how shiney their fur is, also, how prominant their spine is, etc. Also, if your vet says they are fine then they are fine

thank goodness! tabby is way over show weight, but the vet says her coat is in amazing condition and she's not overweight. but she is a b i g minilop, and matthew's not that much smaller.
