How big do rabbits grow?

hiya,

i have a 6 month old mini lop and was wondering at what age they stop growing? Mylo seemed to grow quite a bit but slowed down a bit now.
 
I've been told 10-18 months depending on the breed. Small ones stop growing quite young and big ones take a bit longer. could be wrong though!

No way!! :shock: You learn a new thing every day! Frenchie's it's until 14 months, then they can bulk out a bit more. :)

yes they do ive been keeping these for years and they do grow till 2.5 years and then sad to say usually die around 4 years although my last one i have die was 7 and i do have a 6 yr old one in the rabbitry at the moment for some reason mine seem to have long life span could be the breeding ;)
 
Also be wary what people tell you about your rabbit... If he's from a pet shop they might say he's a mini lop but he could very well be a dwarf lop or a cross breed and they can grow pretty big. :lol:
