This is a visual guide to help you check if your pet rabbit is overweight:
This chart is a good start but it is easier to monitor your bunny’s body weight using a kitchen scale so that you can monitor changes more accurately. If your bunny is fidgety, put her in a box then weigh her.
Why is it important to check your bunny’s weight regularly? Changes in weight from their healthy norm may be indicative of early illnesses e.g. if they are too thin or too fat.
If your rabbit is too fat, you may want to spend more time playing and engaging her. Check out our tips here for activity ideas! Consult our experienced team at Gaia if you need more help and advice on caring for your furbaby.
