@ tiata

Well what type of rabbit is she? :?: Some larger breed keep growing until they are a year or more but you would not want to wait that long before you bred her because once her pelvic bones firmly set having babies would be very risky and could actually kill her. :(

So if you plan on breeding her do so before she hits a year old. If she's nice and healthy and has good weight (Not to fat not to skinny) I would breed her at 6 months. :thumbup:

This is the salad I fed my rabbits, Snowflake and Bunny, is this too little or too much? Each pile is for one rabbit.

Mind listing what is there? it's a bit hard to make out. One thing I will suggest though is cut the apple WAY down. Like only a slice each. Apple are very high in sugar which rabbits don't handle very well. Apple is okay as a treat once in awhile but shouldn't really be a daily thing, especially in that quantity.
Carrots are also a bit high in sugar as well, but not as high as apples. I'd cut those back a bit too. Rabbits do best on large leafy greens such as collard greens, kale, romane/red leaf lettuce ect...

This website here has a nice list (you have to scroll down a bit):

There's Carrot, lettuce, Celery and Apples.

Thanks, I'll be sure to keep that in mind next feeding. c:

She looks like a Gold English Spot rabbit and they don't get huge 5-8lbs...her ears look a little big but maybe that because the photo is a close up. ;) She might just be mixed with English Spot.

No problem. ^-^
Just watch how much lettuce you feed as it can make them gassy too. Gas bubbles can cause nasty tummy aches in bunnies.
Most Lettuce's are okay in small doses, just never feed Iceberg lettuce. Iceberg lettuce really isn't that great for any species to be honest, humans included (I know I don't like it lol).

English spots are smaller than that, unless like ZORAGON said the camera is just close up. She is a mix most likely, very cute though. Iceberg lettuce mainly consist of water, there is something else to it. I know that's why most of my friends, ((Who are breeders.)) including myself don't give it to their rabbits, it lack nutrition.
