When does a rabbit stop growing?

Just a quick question.

When does a bunny stop growing? My bun is 4 months old andtiny. I'm just trying to figure out how big she will get.

When I adopted my Nick in Jan2004, they told me he was about 8 months old. He's a Holland Lop, andwas rather small, but I thought he was full grown... NOT!!
After three more months he was still getting bigger! I was told thenthat they are pretty much full grown size-wise by ten to twelve months.Now, I have to say, he is getting a bit pudgy, but that's my fault. But at least he's a happy, active bun! Here's a pic of him at the ageof about one year.
