Big baby?

[Nyctra]

Is it just me, or is he a big baby bunny? He's 15 days old, from a nest of 6-4 (lost a couple, boo :c ). New Zealand/Cali mix. The ruler is broken at about the 2 inch mark. With his milk belly, he was exactly half a pound at 12 days old.
I love playing with chubby babies.

He IS big!!! And chunky and CUTE!!!!!!

 

[Cattle Cait]

How cute! And yes, gigantic.

What a little butterball - and a steel to boot

if its true that the steel gene is linked to growth then this guy is a shining example!

 

[PSFAngoras]

I love fat kits! I just want to snuggle him!

 

[Nyctra]

Well, not all of my steels grow so well. Most of them do though, even from my 8lb mamma. I really like this fatty.

 

[MamaSheepdog]

He's adorable!

I had what I suspect were steels in my Rex, and they grew really well also. I haven't had any appear in a while though.

Oh. My. Gosh....so stinkin' cute!!!! I can't tell if he's big because I'm so distracted by his adorable-ness

 

[AmysMacdog]

He's so adorable!

I know he looks big, but I think he is about the right size at this age for the breed. I have 8 NZ/Holland Lop mixes at 14 days they weighed 1/2 lb. and 3 NZ/NZ Red at 2 weeks weighed 1 Lb. Both litters born the same day. They are now 6 weeks old and the 3 weigh 3 Lbs. The 8 weigh 2 1/2Lbs.

I so need a large breed rabbit. I'd love to see growth like that. I raise mainly lionheads so nothing massive in my cages.

If you haven't named him yet -- he should be called "Fezzik"!



(For those who don't get the reference...that was the giant in "The Princess Bride" played by Andre the Giant.)

Inconceivable!! (Hey, frecs brought up Princess Bride first! )
That is a big bunny! Looks bigger than my NZs at that age. Adorable too!

I don't think that word means what you think it means!

Fezzik: It’s not my fault being the biggest and the strongest. I don’t even exercise.



(sorry, I can't help myself once I get started quoting Princess Bride....)
