Pet rabbits come in all sizes, from tiny dwarves weighing 2 pounds, to huge giants weighing 14 pounds or more. The healthy weight for a rabbit depends on its breed. If your rabbit is a thoroughbred, you should be able to find the healthy weight range online (type the breed name and "weight" into a search engine); if your rabbit is a mix-breed or you're not sure what breed it is, your rabbit-savvy vet can tell you its healthy weight. A responsible breeder can also tell you the rabbit's healthy weight, but bad breeders, pet stores, and cat/dog vets often don't know what they're talking about and may give you the wrong information.

What should you feed your rabbit to gain weight fast?
It's unhealthy for a rabbit (or any animal, really) to gain weight fast. If your rabbit is underweight, it should gain weight slowly and gradually and get back to health that way. Don't sacrifice your rabbit's health and safety just to make the right weight. If you have plans for the rabbit that requires a good weight (like placing the rabbit in a show, or breeding the rabbit), you'll just have to put those plans off. The first step to helping your rabbit gain weight is to find out why it's underweight. If it has a parasite or disease, that problem needs to be treated by a vet first or else nothing else that you do will work and the rabbit will only get worse. See the related question below for more info about rabbit vets. Once you know the rabbit is healthy, aside from being underweight, the vet will probably suggest a diet slightly higher in fats and proteins than normal for adult rabbits - a diet more similar to that of baby rabbits. You might use a pellet specifically designed for babies, and you might feed the rabbit alfalfa hay instead of grass hay (like timothy). To make sure you do it safely, a weight gain plan should be guided by your vet.
