Olive my bunny is super tiny and I'm worried that it could be a nutrien issue or something while she was growing or is it normal for there to be tiny Holland lops? but she is 7 months now and is half the size of her mom and all my other bunny's.

As long as she is in healthy flesh condition and isn't excessively bony or anything like that, I wouldn't worry about it being a nutrient issue. Some rabbits are just smaller than others. If that's your only worry, I'm sure she's fine ^^

If she IS in poor flesh condition or has protruding bones I would suggest

1) reevaluating your feeds protein, fiber, and fat percentages.

2) offering more variety in the diet, if she's a very picky eater you might get lucky and find something she really likes

3) start supplementing with raw rolled oats and maybe some calf manna as well

(Of course if you aren't doing these things already)

She is supper chubby and probably overweight so I guess she just must be a tiny little bun

Sappire is rrally small too. Just make sure shes eating the right food. I know you can free feed pellets for baby bunnies. However i find that makes them not eat as much hay. But because i am trying to get sappire to gain about a pound & 1/2 i put her on a free feeding diet. & shes doing good on it. Still eating plenty of hay. Just fine what works for you. But its normal if shes small. If she doesn't seem to get any better id recommend a vet.

I would agree with the other comment or she could just be the runt of the litter, as well maybe? Hope everything is going well with them!!
