Mama Doe
Charlee is 6 1/2 months old. She gained weight quite rapidly from about 4 months to 6 months, but she has started to level off a bit. I weighed her just then at she was at 1.23kg. She is a netherland dwarf by the way. I don't think she is overweight but I don't really know how to tell if she is the right weight for her shape/breed/size. So if anyone had any pointers in that area it would be helpful.
Also, we tend to spoil her quite a lot (especially cause she is an only bunny). I was told that raisins are a good treat for bunnies so got her a bag the other day and she loves them. Since giving her a little something she has come so much out of her shell. Instead of being a shy little bunny she is much more lively - she has been climbing on my lap and headbutting me for more head rubs. So I am reluctant to take the treats away as I believe that they have helped her little character develop..but on the same token I don't know how much is too much. So if you anyone has any pointers there, that would also be helpful.
So to summarise (since I have asked a couple of questions in a very longwinded way!):
1) How do you tell if your rabbit is the right weight for their size/shape/breed?
2) How many treats are too many treats?
Thanks!
