But the ten-month-olds could hit 24lbs by the time they reach 18 months.

They have already chewed through six iPhone cables, three extension cords and a diffuser at their home.

Courts bought the bunnies last August with her flatmate Gemma Worth, 32, in Taunton, Somerset.

The occupational therapist said: “It’s scary to think they will double in size.

“Their teeth never stop growing. Thank God they haven’t found the wifi cable.”

The flatmates spend £35 monthly on their hay, pellets and spinach and the rabbits freely run round the flat — with Lapine often “flying” through their kids’ playhouse window.

She says the pair are best friends and ‘lie across each other like a massive hot cross bun’[/caption]

Courts said: “They’re best friends.

“They lie across each other like a massive hot cross bun.”

Remarkably, she added: “I’m excited to watch them grow bigger.”
