Anybody else here raising Florida Whites? If so, when do you butcher them? Mine will be 10 weeks old this Monday coming, but they still look kinda small to me. I'm feeding them pellets, hay, and BOSS. Thank you.

Weigh them. If they are 4lbs I'd eat them. If they are not wait a couple weeks.

Yup, weigh them. They always look small if you're used to the larger breeds

I used to have Florida whites and meat mutts. I went butchered them out at same age and was surprised that my Florida whites had as much meat as my about 9 pound meat mutts. They might surprise you with how much meat they pack on to that little rabbit.
Okay, thanks guys. I'm gonna weigh them today.

How much do they average at 10 weeks?
