My rabbit eats fine but isn't gaining weight. Is 4 lbs normal?

Question

Hi, I've had my young pet rabbit for 3 months. She seems fine, eats hay, a small amount of pellets and healthy greens, but she's not gaining weight. She weighs 4 pounds now. I'm not sure how old she is. Would you be concerned? Thanks, Betsy. Pet's info: Small Animal | Rabbit | Female | unspayed | 7 months and 29 days old | 4 lbs

Depending on the breed of rabbit, this may be a normal weight. As long as she is eating, drinking, defecating and behaving normally otherwise, there is likely no cause for concern. To be absolutely sure would require a physical exam with your veterinarian.
