should 4 day old rabbits be almost all the same weight and lengthwise? or is it normal to have a wide variety?
for example my rabbit had 8 babies 7 live ones.
2 of them are very big. maybe 5 inches long and chubby
2 are maybe 3.5-4 inches long and chubby
2 are about 3 inches long and chubby
and the smallest runt is maybe 2 inches long and skinnier.....
is that normal?

they may well be small, yet rabbits require lots of room for housing and exercising. they have helpful hind legs designed for working and leaping. Get your puppy a cage that facilitates him to go freely. The minimum counseled cage area for a single rabbit of a small- to medium-sized breed is 4 ft huge, 2 ft deep and 2 ft tall. in spite of the fact that twine-backside cages are complication-unfastened, they might ulcerate a rabbit’s ft. in case you have a twine cage, conceal the backside with a bite of wood or corrugated cardboard. extra effective yet, purchase a cage with a stable backside. Please placed down lots of straw, hay or aspen shavings so your puppy could make a comfortable nest.

Yes it is normal. It is survival of the fittest. The bigger ones are probably hogging the milk when the mother feeds them, so the smaller ones get less. You could try bottle feeding the smaller ones if you are that scared for their health.
