How Big Can a Lop Rabbit Grow? A Detailed Guide to Adult Weight and Body Size

The growth of a lop rabbit is determined by how it is fed. Generally, a lop rabbit has a lifespan of 5-12 years, and after reaching adulthood its weight can be kept at around 4 jin.

Points to Note When Raising Lop Rabbits

1. Watch for unusual sounds: sounds that have never been heard before, such as sneezing, coughing and similar sounds, should be noted.

2. Watch for unusual smells: smells that have never been present before. If you smell a rotten apple odor, it is pregnancy toxemia; a sour odor means indigestion; a foul odor means Clostridium welchii.

3. Watch for sudden feed changes: if you change the feed, it should be transitioned gradually, and if any problem is noticed midway, attention should be paid immediately.

4. Watch for sudden climate changes: when the weather turns cold or hot, there will be stress effects, so care should be strengthened.

5. Watch for sudden changes in environment: when putting the rabbit in boarding, for example, if the unfamiliar environment causes great stress, diarrhea is very likely to occur; note that right after a change of environment, something to strengthen the stomach and aid digestion should be fed.

6. Watch for young rabbits that have recently been weaned: some rabbits are very small when bought, and may have been weaned not long before. At this time the digestive tract and the ability to adapt to the environment are very fragile, so attention should be paid at all times.

7. Watch for rabbits just bought: rabbits just brought home may carry infectious diseases from outside, so they should be vaccinated.

8. Watch for periods when epidemics are prevalent: during such times strengthen management, pay attention to care, get vaccinations done, and attend to hygiene in all aspects.
