It depends on how you feed them though, plus the management practices you put in place. I’ve read of cases where it takes 5-6 months for a rabbit to attain that weight. But that was when they were fed grasses with little supplementary concentrates. When feed exclusively on balanced pellets, they can attain 1.8- 2.25kg in 8 weeks.

It also depends on the breeds. The medium breeds are used in commercial rabbitry. Californian white and newzealand are popular.

We formulated our own feed. No harmful things added. For breeding stock, we add more green and cut back on pellet.
This operation is in Vietnam!
