I have a bunny. I have always had lops. Big, little, tiny but always lops. I have a mini lop right now. Also my neighbors raise "feeder" rabbits. The neighbor lady knows were animal nuts and brought over a little baby bunny. She said this one was sweet and too nice to cook. Well this bunny is very sweet and gentle. I think she is a girl and she is white with light and dark brown patches. She has sticky up ears. She seems very heathly but she eats so much more then any other rabbit Ive ever had! I only feed her once a day but I think she would eat 3 or 4 times a day if I let her. Is this normal for this kind of rabbit. I don't know really what breed she is. If anyone has a idea about that I would love to know that too.
Thank you

Are the spots on her "points" (ears, nose, etc.)? It is a Californian. My friend raises those for roaster rabbits. Seeing as she's a rabbit primarily bred for meat, it's expected that she eats more so she has more meat. Californians also grow bigger than most, if not all, lops so that alone will have her eat more.

My family used to raise rabbits, for show and for food, just a couple of breeds. I used to fill their bowls in the afternoon and they would munch on it throughout the day. We never had a problem with obesity. Is the rabbit fat? Probably not. Is it still growing? It would eat more than a mini lop. She sounds cute. do you give them pieces of carrot sometimes?
Here are a couple of links about feeding rabbits. They say that they will get fat, but ours didn't,, maybe those are bored or something: they also say that rabbits like hay.

I like a baby piggy because it's cute and I like a baby bunny even though it's smelly and a baby puppy with shiny black eyes and I am not sure with the baby tiger cub... It's SCARY!!!

Feed her the recommended amount of pellets for her age and give her unlimited hay. Also, she should have lots of fresh veggies daily. My rabbits are pigs too, when they're out hopping around they'll eat my dog's food if I forget to put his bowl up :) You're a good person for saving the little bunny! Good luck!

Some rabbits would eat as much as you let them. You can find the appropriate amount to feed them on this website. Don't feed it as much as it wants. http://www.rabbit.org
