How much do your rabbits weigh?

I was a bit shocked yesterday to find out that Poppy has put on more weight! I haven't changed their diet, she gets the same amount of exercise, Albert hasn't put on/lost any weight...eeek! Perhaps she is just unlucky to have been hit by the fat fairy's wand, like her mummy!

Albert is a dwarf lop and he weighs 2.1kg
Poppy is a netherland dwarf crossed with a dwarf lop and weighs 2.7kg - clearly she has inherited none of the 'dwarf' genes from either of her parents!!!!
 
Sebastian 1.5kg
Mae 1.14ishkg :(

Both Nethies, Sebastian is a good weight for his build, Mae is underweight, she should weigh 1.3kg but Ive really struggled to get her to that weight and now she is loosing more weight :roll:
 
My nethies weigh 1.2 and 1.4 kg, my dutch is 2.3 kg and Pippin, who is a medium bun is around the same at 2.3 kg.
I think mine are a touch overweight, so i'll start to reduce the pellets now it's getting warmer.
Daisy (dutch) was called' Reubenesque' by the vet, but she's just cuddly! She's a very 'solid' bunny actually and doesn't look fat, but is certainly a little bigger than she should be., bless her!
 
I'm not sure, how would you weigh a bun (P.S. They are always moving! :roll:)

Mine only ever get weighed at the vets when they go for their jabs, so twice a year. Fortunately they never seem to fluctuate that much.
 
When Bramble was last weighed at the vets last year he was 1.7kgs I think. He is a English Spot Lionhead cross.....I think. Pretty small.
 
Pie - small mini lop - 1.54 last week
Oberon - small Mini Rex - Not sure but I think about 1.7 (?) but he needs to loose some weight. :wave:
 
When mine were weighed at the vet in January I thought that they said Sergeant was just over a kilogram and Pepper was just under. But perhaps I got it wrong, looking at the weights of all yours! They certainly weren't underweight.
 
I had good new on Tuesday evening.

Sunshine was 3.5 kilos now 3.01 kilos. He has lost half a kilo in 2 months.

Because he is not longer on piles of muesli, ( I used to just pour it out) :oops: bags of carrots and a bag full of greens, that was his usual diet plus hay, until 2 months ago. Weaned off muesli a month ago. Only one carrot between 2 bunnies a day and a small amount of greens and 2 sticks of celery.

Cutie-pie. Mini lop. 2.1 kilos.

Vet said she is slighty underweight. Should be 2.25 to 2.5 kilos. She was rescued from terrible conditions 6 weeks ago.
 
Spenser is 2.95kg, he's a lionhead crossed with goodness knows what! I met his Mum, a dark brown lionhead a good bit smaller than Spenser.
 
Mine are both mini lops. When they had their jabs a few weeks ago, Mac was 1.5kg and Albie was 1.9kg. Which makes Albie too big to be a mini lop which means he's on pellet rations and not at all impressed :lol:
 
These are all a few months old now apart from Smudge. I suspect some of them have put on weight.

Nutmeg - 1.3
Mini and Mischa - 1.8
Smudge - 2.0

Last time I went to the vets with Smudge when he was in stasis the vet there weighed him and it said 1.1. I frowned and said what is that in cos if it's kilos that definitely can't be right. Reweighed him, hey presto, 2kg. So scales do come up with odd things sometimes.
 
I weighed mine last Tuesday and they weighed...

Toffee - 2.4kg, he has lost some weight after the cut back of pellets :D

Daisy - 2.8kg, her average despit cut down of pellets :oops: She needs to loose abit more as she is looking podgy!

Fuzzy - 1.6kg, kind of her average, every time i weigh her its different but its around 1.6kg and 2kg.

George - 3.4kg! :shock: :oops: His weight has stayed the same despit the cut down on pellets :roll: Everytime ive weighed him its been 3.4kg. :? But he is a larger boy than toffee so i dont think he is all dwarf lop... maybe mix with something bigger too? But he could do with loosing a little :lol:

Im hoping with the nicer weather they will be more active and loose abit of podge :oops: :lol:
