I use kitchen scales. My set has a flat, square plate so I can sit a container on the top so it’s stable. I set the scales back to zero then I put the bun in there.

You could also weigh them using a hanging scale. If you can get them to hop into a cloth shopping bag (fabric tote?) then hang the handles in the hook if the scales.

A third way is with bathroom scales. Weigh the rabbit while it is in a box or carrier then weigh the empty carrier. Deduct that weight from the first weight. I’m not sure you’d get much of a read on bathroom scales for such a young nethie though!

ETA: there can be a lot of variation in the final weight and growth rate of ND’s (or any breed really). Your best bet is just recording his current weight and checking it routinely to ensure he is gaining.
What weight measures are you familiar with? I’m used to grams and kilograms, being Australian.

ND adults are about 2 -2 1/2 pounds. They can reach adult weight as early as 6 months old, very definitely by 11-12 months. . Everything happens quicker in these small breeds.They grow quicker and reach sexual maturity quicker also.
But as I mentioned, there can be a lot of variation in their final weight. “False” dwarfs can reach 3-4 pounds. This is the term for netherland dwarfs that receive a copy of the non-dwarf gene from both parents. They are still ND’s they are just typically bigger, have longer ears and sometimes different face shape. The ND’s you see that look more like the show rabbits, got one copy of the dwarf gene and one copy of the non-dwarf gene from the parents. Even those rabbits can vary a bit in weight. Some are runts and some are chunks.  

For a 3 month old. you would probably expect them to be about a pound or a little over. Don’t be too concerned if he isn’t though. He may just be a smaller rabbit or slower grower. Just check his weight again in the following weeks to see that he is gaining. If he isn’t or is losing weight and looking thin, then you would probably need to get him checked out.  

Would love to see some pics of your bunny, if you have some to share. : )

I got a digital food scale to weigh my Netherland dwarf. She doesn’t like that the surface is slippery, though, so we put on some of that non-slip lining for shelves (cut it down to size) and deduct that weight from the weight on the scale when we have her on. I wonder if you could put the scale on the floor with a treat on top and get bunny to hop on?

I don’t know all of my rabbit’s history, since she is a rescue (so she may be a runt or somehow an even smaller version of Netherland dwarf), but is somehow even smaller and super delicate. She is only 1.75lbs, but isn’t very well right now and was 1.9lbs when she was very healthy and slightly chubby. I agree with jerseygirl that adult Netherland dwarfs generally are 2-2.5lbs.

Aww lil bun! He has to true nethie look, that’s for certain.

Your photo files had uploaded. Just click on the Insert Image icon next to file name and they will appear in your post. You’ll see them in the editor before submitting the post. It did take me a few attempts to get them to appear, Im not sure why…

Oooooo! So cute!

I hope all is well.
