Mini lop and mini lion lop weights

I weighed Levi and Daisy last night, Levi (mini lion lop) is now 2.22kg while Daisy (mini lop) is 2kg. Looking at them I wouldn't say they are overweight. I was just wondering if those weights are within the normal range for these bunnies. I can't see why they would be overweight. They get eggcupful of pellets each a day, some fresh veg, unlimited hay and some dried forage every day.

It's a little on the large size for the breed standard but that doesn't mean they're overweight, just that they don't quite fit the standard and there are quite a few mini lops on the forum that are a similar weight to yours.

The best way to judge is by looking/touch - you want to be able to feel the ribs and spine but they shouldn't be covered in too much fat but also not too prominent either. This might help you decide. http://www.therabbithouse.com/diet/rabbit-weight.asp

Thanks. I'll have a more detailed look at them tonight, I just find it hard to tell because of all their fluff!!

Cookie was around 2.6kg until his last gut stasis episode when he dropped to 2.2- was 2.4 last time we checked.

Our vet said he is a 'big boy' but his body profile was fine just to keep a close eye on diet

oh, he's a mini lion lop btw

Well when I took Levi to the vets a few weeks ago when he stopped eating, the vet complimented me on how well looked after he looked so maybe I shouldn't be too worried
