Does anyone have good pictures of flemmish giant kits between 4-8 weeks of age?

It's been an interesting discussion between me and the rabbit rescue gal I work with.

She's noted that all the flemmish giant kits that she gets in have softer rounder tummies than kits of other breeds and it takes until they are about four months old for that to pass.

I've noted that my flemmish giant cross kits have softer, rounder tummies than my other kits of the same age.

I'm wondering if it's a breed thing? Or if it's just something odd that we're noticing....

Maybe it's just a thing we notice because they are lankier/bonier than other breeds and therefore their tummies are just more noticeable...
 
I never really noticed if they have softer tummies, I never really paid attention. I will have to see when I have my first litter. I have a couple of pics of my guys when they were younger.

yeah, those last two have similar bellies to the ones I have. So it makes me think it's a flemmy thing... all bone and tummy and eventually the body catches up. :)
