How can you tell if your rabbit is overweight?

Mine is quite big and I was wondering how to tell if it is overweight.How can you tell if your rabbit is overweight?
Hi


What breed of rabbit is it? That is important to know, so you have an idea what it should weigh.


How old is it? Under 8 to 12 weeks kits are usually free fed (have food available all the time) over that age they get fed controlled amounts of food to prevent obesity.





Do you have food available for an adult rabbit all the time?


That is the number one reason for overweight bunz.





They should be fed a controlled amount of pellets, the same time each day.





A general guideline is:


Dwarf breed 1/4 cup pellets a day


Large breed 1/2 -3/4 cup pellets a dayHow can you tell if your rabbit is overweight?
If when he stands up his fat just rolls around his feet and instead of walking he rolls.
my sister has a rabbit and it is huge. i think that u should just get some diet food and let it have more exercise
