Are my baby rabbits healthy weights?

[eisaacs23]

I have 2 12 week old female rex cross (not sure what they’re crossed with) and 1 weighs 3 lbs and the other weights 3.6lbs. I can’t find anything about the weight of baby rabbits online and want to make sure that they’re a good weight! They seem healthy otherwise and show signs of happy bunnies
Also how much should I be feeding them? I currently do a large handful in the morning and a large handful in the evening but I will give them more if they seem hungrier. I obviously give them unlimited hay and give them small amounts of treats when I am training them, i’m just talking about pellets here!

They both sound to be good weights for their age. But as they are cross breeds, you don’t say if they are part standard Rex or part Mini Rex it’s hard to say for certain. Especially without being able to see them myself.

This information is useful to take a look at re body condition and dietary requirements
