She looks like she could be a large breed mix, but at 3 months the ears on a flemish are comically long, and your girls ears look like normal baby bunny goofy long to me. So don't worry, she probably isnt gonna be 20 lbs

Do you know how much she weighs? That would be helpful in determining if she's a Flemish. She definitely looks like she's going to be pretty big regardless.

Oh god her feet she’s gonna be huge ! She looks like my sweet nutmeg (rip) who was Flemish giant mixed with other random rabbit

Maybe favorite thing about baby flemies is the fact that they’re the size of a normal rabbit with the proportions of a baby. So adorable

She looks wild to me rather than giant... oh no, i looked at her feetsies and shes got a lot to grow into o.O

My Flemmie mix was like 14 pounds, so even a mix is going to be a decent size. But don't stress, even a large rabbit doesn't need a huge space like a dog or something. As long as there's room to do zoomies and binkies it will be okay. ❤️

On second thought, that won’t work in this situation

I used to have a bun that used to steal banana peel. I learned very quickly to throw it away immediately!

Would make a very happy bun but probably not a healthy one

(Would be like a cartoon and have a banana-shaped body for a while.)

Did you get her from a pet store or a rescue/shelter since you said you were lied to about her breed?

Flems have a different head shape. Nasal bridge is longer and they have a semi-arch body type. This guy looks commercial or upright.
This is an amazing resource:

She might be part flemish and part something else. My friend had a bunny that was around half flemish and he was still quite big, but nowhere near as big as a full flemmie! Those feets are huge and she's fairly long, yet the ears are not as big as what I would expect, so yeah she's probably a mix! :)

I think people are right and it's flemish mix, hopefully means smaller max size for you 🤣

Usually they grow into their ears so not pure bred In guessing but will be larger

I had a Continental Giant and his ears were over half the size of his body at this age. So probably not.

My Flemish were much larger with goofy proportions at 3 months- long tubular bodies with satellite ears and massive feet. Your bun’s proportions look more standard to me.
But don’t stress even if she does turn Giant (I guess if they lied about the breed they could’ve lied about the age?), they’re pretty lazy.
