Hiya!

I was just wondering if my French Lop, Storm, has stopped growing. He is now around 7 months and over 4.5kg :shock: I know some smaller bunnies have finished growing around 7-9 months. Gypsy my Lionhead stopped at around 8 months and started to fill out for a few more months.
I have heard that larger breeds take longer to grow fully.
When is it common for a lovely Frenchie to be fully grown?
 
Not sure about the giants :?
The only Frenchie I have had was an adult when I adopted her.
Be interested to hear when the larger breeds do reach their full size :? :?

4.5KG....... :shock: :shock: BIG BUNSTER!! :lol: :lol:

If he gets any bigger I may have to move out of my bedroom into the shed! :shock: :lol: :lol:

:shock: :shock: :shock: fill out even more! WOW! he will be HUGE!! Are French lops supposed to be,...erm a bit wider than the average bun?
 
Lops in general are wider across the shoulders and sort of squarer than other breeds. Matches their head shape I guess.

Just look at those feet :love:
 
Awww look at him all stretched out! What a cutie.

French Lops are generally finished with the majority of their growing at about 8 months old, but some lines take up to 1.5 years to "fill out" completely, so he will probably get more "bulk" to him after 8 months. :lol:
