Is my bunny overweight?

Hi everyone, I was just wondering if someone could please look at the pics of my bunny and tell me if she looks overweight, or if she's OK. She is a female mini lop, a year old.

You should be able to feel a rabbit's ribs like how you feel the bones on the back of your hand. Here are two charts that will help:

If she’s a purebred mini lop then normal weight is between 4 1/2 - 6 1/2 lbs. Have you weighed her?

I haven't weighed her, I don't have the appropriate scale for this.

Just from looking at her I’d say she’s okay, but you would need to feel also. If you have human scales you could weigh yourself holding her and not holding her, just to get an idea of her weight.
