Because I love how all our bunnies come in different shapes and sizes and also because I am generally curious to how other bunnies size compare to mine, I thought I would start a thread so we could all compare our bunnies size.
So here is how it works, just get a photo of your bunny next to or in a standard size tissue box, include the weight of your bunny and breed if you know it.
I’ll go first this is Cookie she is 2.5kg (5.5lb) and in Australia she is considered a Dwarf lop
Fun Fun! What a little baby you have!! How cute!!
Here’s Gus. 12.5 pound Giant Chinchilla. He’d never make it in the show ring. He’s small and isn’t supposed to have lopped ears, but eventually they both fell. Ha ha I think he’s adorable this way! And so goofy!
Your an Aussie C&C???
No way am I putting Henry near my tissue box! The last time, he ate it – I had tissue everywhere for DAYS!!! Ggggrrrrrr…….
LOL! I can say that Henry is a mini lop and when he got neutered over a year ago he was 2 kg’s – I’d say he would be 2.5kg’s now. And he looks about the same size as your Cookie C&C. BTW, your Cookie is SO beautiful! Makes my brown/grey Henry look drab, ha ha ha!
PS! Oh MB, I love Gus SO much! The thought of cuddling him just makes me all mushy – he’s so HUGE! What I do for a HUGE bunny???
And those ears…….. sigh!
I must go buy a tissue box now!
LOL Moxie!
AH — pleeeeaaaaase take a pic of Henry with a tissue box! Get hubby and Blair to do alot of nose blowing so it can be an empty tissue box so Henry won’t eat all the tissues! I’m going to take piccies too and post later this week!
Megabunny — go ahead and pack Gus’ bags ’cause goofball is moving to Virginia! Those ears make me melt every time I see them and I could just squeeze that big boy!
Omg Gus is adorable and all that bunny to cuddle
AH notice how my tissue box is empty haha Cookie loves tissue’s too.
Keep the photo’s coming
First task, to find a tissue box, second task, to find my bunnies…
It looks like Lionel would be a bit smaller than Cookie, and Roxi could probably sit in the box comfortably…
What size is a ‘standard size’ tissue box? Those look a bit different to what I’d consider standard size in the UK :/

First task, to find a tissue box, second task, to find my bunnies…
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Amanda!
Roxi! Lionel! Now, where’s those dam tissues that I hid from the bunnies???
I have 2 tissue box sizes Tessie – I’m going with whichever is empty first! LOL!
I’ll add the tissue box quantity when I post my pic! Ha ha ha!
Leave it to the University student to clarify the size. Ha ha.. I didn’t think of that. Mine was a box of 160.
Come on guys. Pictures!!
And thanks for the comments. Yup. Gus is a great one to squeeze. He’s just a big lug
I need a tissue box too. This is a fun idea!
I don’t even want to imagine what Moxie would do if I gave her the chance to destroy a tissue box!

Hahaa! Sorry!
I’ll just find any tissue box then…
Here is Kraken sitting in the tissue box! He is a 3.5 lb Holland lop.
Oh what a sweet little thing!! I can’t imagine, given my big lug, having one small enough to be IN the box!!
Aww Kraken is so cute!
Oh my gosh, Kraken has the.cutest.face. So squishy! I love him!
That’s so funny, we all said the same thing! That just proves how cute he is!
I love this… I’ll have to buy a regular tissue box so I can get one of Pete… currently I only have the little square box, but we’ll see what I can do.
I think I’m also going to be mentally renaming rectangular tissue boxes lop-boxes… Very cute buns!
Aww thanks guys! He can be a little ball of destructive energy sometimes. Don’t let the cute face fool you But we absolutely adore him and squish his chubby cheeks and give him a much despised kiss everyday!
OMG GUS!!!! That last picture-love it!!!
This is great! I love the little bunnies!!!
***off to find tissue box….
OMG GUS!!!! That last picture-love it!!!
This is great! I love the little bunnies!!!

Kleen-x pictures! Pumpkin was weighed at the vet today and was 3.6 pounds (not sure what that is in kg?!)
Of course she had to chin the box first.
Just shove a little food in Henry’s mouth Andi!
Oh, you didn’t want a picture comparing sizes to a unicorn? my bad
Oh how incredibly adorable that Pumpkin is! What a model! And she looks like the unicorn somehow ha ha
LLH— Since I can’t find a tissue box I *might* be able to find a unicorn. *Runs off to find a purple unicorn*
(Is that a normal sized pillow pet?)
Yes, it’s that a standard size purple unicorn?? Lol
Fun thread. We did this one time with a can of drink (coke mostly) and discovered and average can varied in size around the world.
I can more easily find a pillowpet than a tissue box… is that bad?
Oh please Andi, put a picture of my adorable Henry whats the worst that could happen
I think my heart just skipped multiple beats..OH MY GOD! I WANT TO S-T-E-A-L PUMPKIN! sooo adorable.
Loving the photo’s, sooo cute!!!
LEL We’ll take what we can get!!
Jersey Soda cans??? How fun! Except too many people here are all healthy now and stuff. It would probably have to be a bottle of water! Where’s your pic??
Tokii Back off! Pumpkin’s all mine!!!!
Tessie Did you change your avatar quote? Love it! And so appropriate oh ye of the 1000 postings!
Hahahaha I’m dying; yes this is an average size purple unicorn! Ha but seriously, yes it’s one of those pillow pets–one of the smaller ones (not sure what’s average?) We give Pumpkin the unicorn hair do all the time and I was at the store and saw this little unicorn and had to get it!!!
LLH— Well there’s peewee sized (11 inch) There’s normal size (also known as large) that’s 18 inches. Jumboz are 30 inches. So what is it? I know my sister has a normal sized pillow pet around here somewhere…!
PeeWee
Pumpkin has a PeeWee pillow pet. Trying to see if I can say that really fast 3 times . . .
Ooops! Pumkin has a Purple PeeWee Pillow Pet!
JR— Ha ha ha.
Told you he’d eat the tissue box – DOH!
Talk about…. IN YOUR FACE! Ha ha ha ha!
AH – how much does Henry weigh?
Hahahah JR…way too many P’s!!!! Hi Henry!!!! You were supposed to give me some treats Andi!
He was 2 kilo’s when he was neutered just over a year ago, without knowing for sure – at a guess I reckon he’d be 2.5 kilo’s now???
LOL LLH! I got the photo by chance while in bed last night – he was sitting still while I was patting him and thought to grab the tissue box. I got what I could Justina – about 5 ‘bad’ photo’s, ha ha ha!
He’s not a very good model, and I’m the WORST photographer! I’m sure you can tell…… Lol!
Ha ha ha, all these pics are too cute. I should be able to get a tissue box Sunday. Until then if anybody is interested I could compare her to a NORMAL sized unicorn and a soda can.
Sorry! I don’t own a unicorn. How much happier our house would be if we did???
AH— ha ha ha. what size soda cans are those over at Aussie? Ours are 12 ounces.
We don’t do ounces over here Moxie – we do 375ml cans……
12.68 US fluid ounces to be precise.
Your toooo good Roberta! THANKS!
In US terms, does that make Henry more of a large Holland lop (@4.5 lbs .. 2 kg) or a mini lop (5-6 lbs . . . 2.5 kg)?
He was sold to Den as a mini….. but who knows? Can you trust anyone anymore when $ money is involved???
That’s why I hate dealing in anything I don’t know or understand.
So which breed is meant to be bigger or smaller??? Not that it matter’s – just curious, I have NO idea!
When he got Henry for me – I didn’t even know about the different breeds…. I just asked for a bunny with ‘floppy’ ears, ha ha ha ha!
I think your mini is our Holland and your dwarf is our mini? Our mini is bigger than our Holland and I think your dwarf is bigger than your mini. Mine are Hollands as is Manic’s Bumpy and Moshi reached 4.2 lbs (1.8 kg) and I *think* Manic said Bumpy got up to 4.6 (@2 kg). Show Hollands here can’tbe over 4 lbs but ours can because they’re pet quality. Marlee is 3 lbs (@ 1.4 kg) — without all that fur, I could probably fit her in my coat pocket!
This was not as easy as I thought it would be! He just wanted to chew it
Mmmmm……. I’m confused! Ha ha ha! Only because it’s not familiar to me. For example (I get this, cause I know….) my Molly ‘Toy Poodle’ is smaller than a Mini Poodle – go figure??? A lot of people questioned me on that alllll the time. A Toy ‘is’ smaller than a Mini in Poodles.
All’s I know is – Henry is not BIG like Gus and I want him to be…… ha ha ha! I want a HUGE bunny that I can spoon in bed! You all know as soon as Tessie announced she bought Teddy and his dad is the largest bunny in the UK (the world?) I swooped in and I was the first to steal him! I ‘own’ all the BIG bunnies on BB! and lot’s of the cute one’s tooooooo!
LOL!
TOOO cute Binkymom! YEP, he’s so like Henry, LOL!
OMG Andi that Birthday Boy picture is the cutest thing I’ve seen in my life!!!!!!
Binkymom he looks so shy in those pics!
MM–yes to a unicorn pic!
Everyone’s home is happier with a unicorn!
I’m getting a unicorn!!! He he he he he…..
PS Justina – That was Henry’s birthday photo that was taken last May. He was NOT happy! Especially when I took the Coke can and dog food away, ha ha ha ha ha! No wonder Henry isn’t fussed on me – I ruined his birthday! Lol! Silly bunny…..
Even though some of us may have had the thought, only AH would admit wanting a huge bunny she could spoon! LOL LOL LOL
AH—- Due to the bad experiences of bunnies and coke cans in the past *cough* *cough* *Henry* I decided to use a PEPSI can! Although she ended up spilling some of it.
And since the Unicorn decided to be such a team player, I decided to compare it to the soda can too. You can probably get a better idea that way.
Sorry for the little bit of mess in the background. Moxie decided to rip open her bag of pellets and her bag of hay, and I hadn’t gotten to sweeping it up yet.
Moxi and Henry so cute!!! these photo’s are great all the bunnies are so different and unique.
To clear up your confusion in Australia our Mini lops are our smallest lop breed and should weigh no more than 1.8kg our Dwarf lop is the larger breed weighing approx 2.5kg, Cookie was sold to me as a mini lop but weighing in at 2.5kg like Henry means she is actually a ‘Dwarf lop’ and I would say that Henry is the same, a lot of places and people like to sell the rabbits as ‘Mini lops’ so we think we are getting the smallest rabbit possible but unless you are buying from a reputable breeder who has good lines you can never be sure until they have stopped growing
I always thought Bramble was a reasonably small bunny until I looked at this thread. I will need to get a box of tissues and attempt to get Bramble to stay still next to it for a second or two, that wont be easy he is such a hyperactive bun at the moment. When he was last at the vet he was a little over 2.5kgs which I just googled and realised its 5.5lbs! I honestly didn’t think he was that big. When I was a little girl one of my friends families were sort of hippies, they were strange folk to be honest but I loved going to their house because amongst the many animals they had was what I honestly thought was the worlds biggest bunny! This guy was ginormous it took two of us to lift him out of his hutch and he was so fluffy he kinda looked like a giant snuggly pillow.
Here’s Oscar with his tissue box. He is a Mini Rex mix and weighs 2.75lbs.
I don’t have any soda cans or unicorns in the house, but for comparison, here’s the kitty (7lbs Siamese):
Moxie is huge!!!!
Hazel — LOL! How did you get them in the box?!?! That is hilarious!
AH — I don’t know how I’m going to do it, but when I steal Henry, that bunny’s going to be snuggled!
Ohhh Oscar is adorable
Krystyol I thought the same about my Cookie until she was weighed at the vet and then went holy moly she is big not little, I too have always loved big bunnies
JR: Oscar hopped right in following the food in my hand (of course). Lily was a little harder, a lot of the time when she realizes I want her to do something or sit somewhere for a picture, she will run because she hopes I might come after her. A game of chase is much more fun than sitting still for pictures. I had just woken her up though, she was sleepy and didn’t give me too much trouble!
CookiesandCream: Thank you! Your bunny is very pretty, the coloring is beautiful! How can you not just stare at her all day?
OH, I forgot to ad Moxie’s weight! She’s about 8.3 pounds before a salad, and 8.6 pounds after a big meal!
So if goolgle is correct, Moxie would be between 3.7 and 3.9 kilograms.
Hazel— How cute are Oscar and Lily!
Holy cow! I’ve been busy all day and this was behind by 25 messages just on this thread. I love all the new pics.
AH that birthday pic is awesome!
Everyone is really stepping up with fantastic pics! Great thread um…Moxie?
Haha MM yay for unicorns! !
OK! I’ve got Kleenex, bunnies, unicorns, disapproval and butts.
I took too many pics (Its a rare event). So i’ve put them in an album which will hopefully display below.
I’ve got pictures! I’m just choosing the best ones! This is so exciting
JG, LUV your slide show!
Jerseygirl—Those are adorable pictures! Love it!
Tessie— Hurry with the piccies! I need to see how big “MY” buns are getting!
Helloooooooo
I finally got a tissue box and took pictures! I know some people wanted picture updates anyway so here we are; here are my babies!
Luna saying “This is what you’ve brought me? What am I supposed to do with this?”
As you can see, their heads are pretty much the size of the box
Theodore on the approach (his big butt didn’t fit in the frame)
Loony looking like a bit of a fatty to be honest
And then we took selfies for y’all: Me, Loony, and Teddy
Me, Loony, Teddy and our tissue box
Jersey — nice slide show!
Tessie — you know how I love Teddy’s ears, his ears are almost as big as the box! I feel a little faint, quick, I need to touch those ears and I need to squishy Luna’s fluffy butt!
I tried to get pics last night. I think I got a few, but it was hard! Hope to be able to post them tonight.
How big is that tissue box? It looks kinda thin, or maybe your buns are just really big.
Moxie – Errr, I dunno, I think it’s a normal tissue box?
They are both giants, you realise that? Last time we checked Theodore weighed like 19 pounds or something.
I love the giant buns!!
Jersey you have MULTIPLE unicorns?? Pumpkin is so jealous!
That is a teeny tissue box, Tessie, but gosh!! Two HUUUUUGE bunnies! Love ’em. They must keep you quite busy. No wonder it took you so long to get to 1000!! The selfies are priceless!!!
JG Love the video
Diamond— Aww. Lily is so cute and tiny!
Moxie — Tessie’s bunnies almost make you wonder if she found a Barbie Doll tissue box and took pics with it!
JR— Ha ha ha, her bunnies make the box look so small!
I don’t know why my tissue box is under suspicion it’s a normal tissue box, I swear
I did question what size we were counting as ‘standard’ at the beginning, just saying!
I keep going back and looking at Teddy and the tissue box, hubby even looked at it a couple of times. He just looks so big and soft. Hubby’s trying to figure out where a bunny that size would best be able to run in our house and what happens when a big bunny does a bunny 500 . . . I think I’m in trouble!
Well, if the flemmies crash into things like my Gus, who’s much smaller does, your hubby better watch out! Flemmies must be the linebackers of the rabbit world. Gus was doing 500’s last night, leaped onto my lap…and laptop, landed on some series of buttons that flipped the screen at a 90 degree angle!! The cursor wouldn’t move right or anything! Hubby got that plopped in his lap and it took HIM a bit to figure it out. He actually enjoyed it and said it was a fun problem.
Diamond, your Oscar looks smaller than that little box!! Wow! How do you get hold of him to put him back in his pen?? I’d be chasing him til Kingdom Come! (I can outrun my guy once he tires, which is in about 20 seconds)
Hahaha! I remember doing a thread years ago of pics of bunnies with soda cans. Little Monkey was the same size as a typical can
I couldn’t find a rectangle tissue box, so I used a square one instead. I also couldn’t find a normal-sized unicorn, so I used a normal-sized penguin.
Lionel-Lionhead/rex mix, 4 lbs
Roxi-Lionhead, 2lbs
She kept running away
Two pounds!!!! And I thought Marlee was small at 3 lbs! I’m beginning to wonder just how much Marlee’s fur weighs!
Posted By JackRabbit on 1/24/2015 6:12 PM
Two pounds!!!! And I thought Marlee was small at 3 lbs! I’m beginning to wonder just how much Marlee’s fur weighs!
Only one way to find out…
I’m afraid there wouldn’t be anything left!
I wonder how much Roxi would weigh without all her fluff? O_o
This was harder than I thought! My bunnies did not want to cooperate!
Kieko would move every time I put the box next to her. This is the only pose she would allow. Kieko weighs 3 lbs.
Moshi was a little better, but he just wanted to eat the tissue box. Moshi weighs 4 lbs.
Marlee took a peak at the tissue box and decided it was dangerous. I found a different tissue box and a Dr Pepper can. Luckily she was interested in the can because she ran from the second tissue box too. Marlee weighs 3 lbs.
JR— “My” buns are so cute!! How sweet do “My” Moshi, Marlee and Kieko look!
I love all these pictures! I went to the store this weekend and totally forgot to get a tissue box. I hope I can remember to pick one up the next time I go.
This is the pic of my Monkey by a regular 12oz (355mL) can of Dr. Pepper. For those that don’t know her, yes, she is full grown. 6 years old! She weighs 1.5 lbs
Monkeybun — she’s do tiny and cute! She would fit perfectly in my pocket . . .
She hears that a lot One of the volunteers with the Rabbit Advocates here in Portland likes to stick her in his pocket when he sees her
Monkeybun she is small like my Kilala. She is so pretty. I don’t have a tissue box but I will try to take some of my rabbits beside a can. I went to the store last night and forgot to get a tissue box again. I remembered when I got back into the car. Silly me!
Monkeybun—She’s so cute!
Tries to figure out how some BBers do without tissues . . . .
JR Oh those little bunnies are sooo cute!
Tessie, How many kleenexes DOES that box hold? 20? Sorry. It’s teeny tiny and squooshy. The pancake of tissue boxes
Maybe it’s like a “go green use less box” tissue box!
Here are a couple of Cincinnati. I chose a tissue box that complemented his colouring.
He was more interested in eating the box.
I have no idea why these are upside down!
I should add that he weighed 7.25 lbs at his last check up.
Guys, I’m sick of the talk about the tissue box.
The box says it holds 100. I don’t know if that’s a lot or not, I don’t usually buy tissues, I bought them to take the photos for you all.
I agree the box is fairly flat, but that’s not the part that we’re comparing to the bunnies. We’re not talking about how tall they are, we’re looking at the width of the boxes.
The bunnies are also pretty huge which probably makes it look small. Can we drop it now?
I love seeing all these comparison pics! I need to go find a tissue box and a unicorn. …also a pillow pet. Maybe Ox will cooperate?
I’ve also just stolen Monkey. ♥♥♥
Ox is not cooperating. I did get a picture of him throwing the tissue box off the couch though. That’s something, I guess. I’ll try and get it posted tomorrow.
I’m telling you MissGabster it’s because Ox wants to come hang out w/ Pumpkin and her unicorn!! I bet they would both pose nice then!
Tessie, I don’t think anyone was trying to seriously criticize you about the tissue box. I’m sure it was all supposed to be in good fun, especially since your bunnies are giants! Please don’t take offense, we’re all friends here!
Tessie — we’re all just jealous of your big bunnies! I can’t imagine having so much bunny to snuggle so I keep looking at the pics of your bunnies!
Tessie— Yes, we’re all just jealous of your HUGE bunnies!
Yeah, sorry about that guys, I was feeling grumpy this morning!
I love you all really
I think you’re, LLH. He’s such a snugglebun I don’t think he’d ever move if he was squished between a unicorn and Pumpkin.
Here’s some picture. Ox is a 2.5 Ib Jersey Wooly.
Here’s Take 1. Notice the tissue box in the bottom right corner? He really likes throwing things from heights.
Take 2! Maybe he won’t throw it off this time?
Okay…never mind. “Did something fall?”
Take 3! “I thought I got rid of this. Why is it back?”
MissG — Only 2.5 lbs! I was expecting him to be one of the 5 or 6 pounders! All that fluff can be misleading . . . . think I just might have a pocket that Ox might fit in!
OMG HIS FACE!!! “Did something fall?” He look genuinely shocked that something fell even though he knows he is absolutely guilty! I bet Ox can get away with ANYTHING! ooooh smooshy PumpkinOxUnicorn sandwich!!!
OX is so cute! I love his face when the tissue box fell.
OH MY GOODNESS! OX IS SOO ADORABLE!!! He kinda looks like a mini Moxie! I love the face, “Did something fall?”
Thankoo. :3 Ox gets away with too much…but that face. He has so much floof that it does make him look bigger, plus the tissue box I used was a flatter one. I might try and get a photo of him next to a soda can and some unicorns.
Here are some of Pepper. I had to use a bunch of Calf Manna to get him to stay still.
I don’t know his weight, but he is a Mini Lop who will be 11 weeks old tommorrow!
Pepper looks so cute!
Thanks Moxie!
So, because I’m a unique unicorn I’ve gone all non-standard on you guys.
My wife is out photographing tonight, so I took them on my phone. Although it’ probably just as well because I have no idea how to change the settings and when I tried to take bunny shaming photos a couple of days ago the pictures came out as one giant blur every time… these ~fancy~ cameras I tell you…
He’s more hunched than usual because he’s poorly, but there’s no rest for the weary in this house.
So, here’s my knock off red bull – about the same size as a ‘standard’ red bull can which is different to pretty much every other can.
A short tissue box.
Aaand, a 30cm ruler.
Tried to get one of him sprawled out in his litter box… here’s a photo series of his thoughts on that!
“Um, I beg your pardon, I was trying to have a nap…”
“Mummy, what are you doing to me?”
Mr Roger weighed approximately 1.26kg (google tells me that’s 2.7lb) before when he was neutered in November.
Colleenbunny Pepper is so cute!
Paradigm Mr. Roger is so cute as well. I just want to pick him up and give him a kiss and hug!
Paradigim— Mr.Roger is an adorable bunny!! He’s so cute and tiny!
Pete was difficult with the square tissue box I had…
Then he saw the camera…
Oh my goodness Cottontail, I love that last picture!
