I got a few pictures of Lola tonight. Do you guys think she looks over weight? I was told she is between 2-3 years old.

She does look overweight ; I should know as I have several overweight rabbits at home

the only thing I can figure out is that unlimited hay is fattening if they don't get enough exercise :?( no one ever told me that was true)
She looks overweight but not like extreme or anything .................

I:)think that she is a pretty girl
 
She looks a little bit chubby to me, but not obese.

I would ask the vet about her weight at her Saturday vet appointment. It is much easier to judge a rabbit's weight in person.

I think a healthy diet and regular exercise will see her to a healthy weight in a very reasonable time.

Ok Thank you!!! Yes I can't wait to find out how much she weights tomorrow. I wish we had a scale at home.
 
This might sound silly...but I've noticed that my buns have all gained a bit of weight, and it started just before winter hit. So, I wonder if Lola might just have a bit of extra winter weight on?

Does your house get very cold?
 
Ohh I never thought of the winter thing. No our house is not cold. I'm a freeze baby!!! LOL



She weights 11lbs. :shock:
 
From the photos, it appears that she is carrying too much weight. As Dawn said, it is much easier to assess the rabbit in person.

It looks like she has a little "extra" hanging around on her middle. How well can you feel her ribs and backbone? You should be able to feel individual ribs without poking through a lot of skin/fat. She's very pretty, though!
