  Okay as you all know, Danish is a healthy baby bunny. But she isn’t as muscular has her brother and she’s was lighter. Cadbury (her brother)is way stronger, bigger, more muscled and heavier than her. She weighs almost equal too a half full water bottle and Cadbury a full one. Is this concerning? or is she just late to the growth curve. Their just about 4 months now.

  So that means she is 8 ounces?
  Do you know how much her mom and dad weigh?

  Also does it look like she is eating enough and do you give her alfalfa pellets(they have extra protein for growing buns)?
  And do you think that her siblings are hogging the food?

  I suspect they just have different growth curves. If their parents were quite different sizes, one could be taking after the larger parent, and the other the smaller. Otherwise, if she seems a healthy weight for her size, I think you’re ok. I agree with Paige to make sure that she’s getting her fair share of food. But if she’s not skinny or underweight, I suspect she’s just growing slower than her brother.
