Chubby bunnies are usually lazy bunnies. A chubby bunny will have many health issues.
Things that can lead to a chubby bunny~A bunny that lives in a small cage will not get enough exercise and could be a problem. To many pellets or treats. (Bunny should ALWAYS have hay no matter how chubby he is)! Having a lazy bunny is a problem too.
How to prevent a chubby bunny~If your rabbit is not chubby then good! To keep bunny from getting chubby give bunny exercise, healthy food, and should be taken well care of if he is lazy.
What to do with an already chubby bunny~Don't right away take his pellets from him, you have to slowly wean him off or even give him less. Get him out to play! Find toys that he likes and coax him with some healthy treats. Give him an hour as a start. Then over time let him have more time as he will begin to get more healthy and be more hoppy. Read the post on laziness please since most chubby bunnies are lazy.
If you want to weigh bunny then put him on a bathroom scale (you could even have the vet weigh him). If he is not still then hold bunny and weigh yourself. Write it down. Then weigh just yourself. Write that down. Subtract what you weighed with what you and bunny weighed together. Then you'll get his weight. Write that down also.
