hi my giants are 22 weeks old now, and hermionie is now 6.2kg approx (my scales are not brill) so i am wondering when i know she is fully grown so i can stop feeding ab lib!

also i have a bonding problem hagrid is been neutered just a week ago so i know they cant go together yet (as much as they are both house rabbits and when i let one out the other looks at me with them puppy dog eyes to say not fair! i am wondering if its thate standard 6 week wait or it would be longer for giants?

also how am i gonna bond these, they are both when out are free range in the house and cant bond in the garden because hagrid cant go on the grass because of his hyper sensitivity to green food! so i am wondering what to do

also they have been in cages next to each other since they were 8 weeks old but they pay no attention to each other never have really, is this good or bad?
