How big are they?

You adopted them as babies? If they are still growing, then I would say they are probably a medium-large breed mixes. Maybe Havana or New Zealand is in there somewhere. One of them has the harlequin pattern. Harlequin is a breed as well… but the genes for the harlequin pattern have been introduced into many breeds, so you can’t go off of coloring alone.

It’s really hard to gauge a bun’s weight from photos, but a vet visit could help you ensure that they are getting the correct diet for their age.

How do they feel when you feel their backs? It’s normal for teenage bunnies to be a bit lean, but they should still have good muscle along their spine. The spine should feel like small bumps, so you can feel the middle of the vertebrae but not the sides, if that makes sense?

They are very cute!

Depending on their age, that might be on the high end for pellets (or is it 1/4 cup shared between them?). But if they are under a year then it’s an OK amount.

Honestly, I don’t really tailor my buns salad to their weights closely. I used to have an 11 lb bunny, and she certainly got extra! But my current buns all get somewhere between 1-2 cups per day (basically 1 big handful each, depending on what I have for them), and they range in weights between 4-6 lbs. Hay-eating is the most important thing, so if they are eating their hay well then I don’t think you need to adjust the salad much. Another thing that you can do if you aren’t sure is to track their weights to see if they are stable.

If your white rabbit is a NZ or a florida white, she may have some “meat” breed in her which would make her tend to put on weight more easily. My bunny Myra is part Californian and she was overweight when I got her. With a low-pellet diet and more exercise she’s much better now. 🙂

Also if they are under around 7 months to a year old, they should have some source of alfalfa in their diet, usually it’s in young rabbit pellets.

If they are still growing, then I think 1/4 cup is a reasonable amount. Snowball definitely has that meat rabbit look to her and your description of her “body type” definitely fits. I’m still leaning toward NZ with her. Florida White is a good guess too. You will want to keep an eye on her weight as she gets older. They were bred to put on weight easily.

Just have to add I love that pic of Snowball snoozing in the sun! 🙂

As a quick aside, if you are keeping your rabbits together, please note that based on their age, they may have what is called a ‘baby bond’. A ‘baby bond’, also known as the false bond, refers to the relationship between rabbits where at least one is unfixed and young. Due to the absence of hormones, territorial feelings and aggression are not yet present, facilitating what can seem like a very loving, stable relationship– however, this can change very quickly once a rabbit reaches sexual maturity. Please note that rabbits being together since birth (i.e. siblings, parent-child) does not rule-out the baby bond phenomena, since rabbits can and often will fight and mate within family.

Please see here for more information: My two bunnies used to be happily bonded, but now they’re fighting! What happened?

IMO a healthy rabbit pretty much always acts starving LOL

Usually people cut down from “unlimited” pellets around 6 months, but since you are already at 1/4 cup you can probably stick with that for now.

That’s great you already have them separated. Now that they are a bit older you may also want to double check their sexes, young rabbits are often mis-sexed!

It looks like New Zealand and harlequin. My friend has a harlequin that looks identical to your bunny
