Fat babies?

[Tinytailsrabbits]

Hello,
I am new here and have only been breeding lionhead rabbits for a year. I recently bought a new rabbit and when she became old enough to breed, I bred her to a beautiful pure bred lionhead buck. 31 days later she gave birth to 2 HUGE baby bunnies. Skip about 3 weeks back to today and these babies are enormous. I am getting a little worried because they have not hopped yet, just crawled. Is there something wrong with these babies? I was told their mom is a lionhead and she weighs about 4lbs. I will attach a picture of the mom and her brother together (They look alike), a picture of the 2 babies (white, one w/ grey/black), the 2 babies dad (VM blue), and a picture of a lion lop baby the same age (Broken brown)

thanks in advance!

The kits look perfectly ok, imo.

They look a lot smaller in the pictures. These guys are huge! I will see if I can take better pictures to show how big they are.

The mother and brother are beautiful! Their eye markings remind me of dwarf hotots.

How did this litter turn out by now?

They are still a little bit bigger. Normally I can free feed during the entire pregnancy without a problem, but this mama is a BIG EATER and I think she ate too much. I am limiting her feed this time and will hopefully have more decently sized kits.

Well, 2 is a very, very small litter, so they would get fed well anyway. Keep checking how the spine of the doe feels like, that's the easiest way for me to tell if a doe is eating too much and gets fat.

I do the same. She got really fat
