I'm trying to work out how old a bunny is that I adopted yesterday to work out when she should be spayed... this thread is purely for that & not to discuss/debate on the ages of rabbits sold in petshops please
Ok that bit over.. yesterday I brought home a rabbit that her previous owner told me is 4 months old.
She bought her from P@H on 14 November & said when she visited on 13 Nov (the day this new store opened) they only had bucks.. but when she went back the next day they had does in stock so she bought one.
Now I assume from this that the rabbit I've adopted was very young (maybe 6/8 weeks?) depnding on what age they're usually sold from?
So if I assume she was 8 weeks old this would make her birthday around 19 September.. meaning she's 4 1/2 months old?
Just wondered if anyone could confirm this?
She seems big for her age but I think she's a dwarf lop - in actual body size she's nearly as long as Phillip, but not anywhere near as heavy (he weighs 2kg), I think she is too thin though.
She doesn't appear to have any 'hormonal' issues yet.. but as she's so shy & nervy it's hard to tell.
