What weight should a Mini lop be?

Hi,

I just wondered what weight a mini lop should be? My rabbit Gizmo weighs 2.74kg is that a little overweight?

I think up to 3kg is acceptable but the body scoring system is a much better indication.

Next time you're at the vets, ask them to show you what the body scoring system is.

Anna it's so difficult to say - a lot depends on whether they are pure bred, or a cross breed (with a larger rabbit). Has your vet said something about Gizmo's weight, or does he feel a bit plump to you? x

Hope you're OK :wave:

Hi, the vets not said anything about Gizmo, I just got him to weigh him so I can keep an eye on his weight, he is a very fluffy bunny so don't think he's overweight. I'm ok and Gizmo seems ok but does keep pooping on his cuddly toy ��

Oh bless him :love:

Maybe once the summer comes, he sheds a bit of weight and a bit of his fluffy coat, you can see him in his true colours :)
 
if the vet wasn't worried and never mentioned him being overweight, I really wouldn't worry, its good to monitor the weight though
weights can very a lot especially in not purebred mini lops, they could have bit of dwarf or anything in them meaning there weights can vary alot
 
My bridge boy Rio was classed as a minilop by the vet,he was pet shop bun,so parentage was probably mixed,he weighed nearly four kilos,mind you he did love his food.
