French lops

Wise Old Thumper
at what age are they fully grown? I picked Amy up today and she is 6 months old and about the same size as fudge around 4kg. Also i was wondering whether she should be on a junior food if she's still growing or whether an adult mix was ok?
 
Congrats on your new eddition! :D I have heard that French lops are not fully grown for a year. They do all their growing in 8 or 9 months and then spend a few months filling out!.
I'm not sure about the food, I'm still feeding Storm junior food mixed with science selective at the moment and he's about 5 months.
 
thanks :wink: extra thought does that mean they should be spayed at a later age than average sized rabbits too? :?
 
my dangermouse was a french lop but he was a cross but we didnt know what with he was huge and grew till about 13 months and filled out then i think it depends on the rabbit, mouse had junior food till 9 months and we slowly introduced adult hope this is some help?
 
If she is healthy and a good size she can be spayed at 6 months. I know it's different for boys, but storm is going to be neutered tomorrow :shock: they brought his op forward!. The vet did make me laugh though when she said " are you SURE he's only 5 months?? he gives the impression of being older!," ( he is BIG in other words!
 
I hav two frenchies and they seem to take a while to mature, Ruby is
six months old and has i bit to go before she catches up with Derek (now a senior citizen) i don't tend to worry to much as they are a tough breed.
