You really can’t tell that from a picture, but she’s at a healthy weight. She weighs 7 lbs which is the correct weight for her size. She just looks round because she has that particular body shape. Her diet consists of about a tbsp of oxbow pellets in the morning and everything else is hay, a salad of lettuce or similar in the afternoon and a different kind of pellets made of nothing but Timothy hay. Also she just saw the vet a few weeks ago and the vet was initially concerned that she lost about 2 oz (but it turns out she hasn’t and the vet just misremembered her prior weight). But if the vet is concerned about that snall of a loss it would be very bad for her.

Anyhow I want to reiterate that it’s extremely difficult to judge a rabbit’s weight from photos, especially with the 2 rounder body shapes.

Edit: what is wrong with you people jumping on haranguing me about my rabbit, who is at a healthy weight, being supposedly morbidly obese? I’m seriously at a loss right now. Here is a page that outlines the different rabbit body types. She has the commercial type, which makes sense given that she’s mixed breed part Californian. https://arba.net/posing-and-evaluating-different-type-rabbits/

Seriously this type of stuff in rabbit forums is extremely unhelpful for people who are trying to learn and do better for their rabbits. Also, if I were new to rabbits and got these comments (which are entirely unhelpful, nobody is even politely outlining proper rabbit nutrition, just calling her obese and telling me to feed her less wtf) I might have put her on a diet and caused her stasis or something. JFC I can’t even with those comments.

Another edit: also I want to reiterate that I posted this in part to help other people so they would a. know the signs of overheating and b. know what to do if their rabbit overheats.
