Subject: How old is my bun?

I've had my bunny for one month tomorrow. I have no idea how old she is because she was rescued under strange circumstances. On February 1 she was only a handful, a little bigger than a guinea pig, and since I've been feeding her lots of hay and bunny chow and cilantro, she has grown much larger and is now about the size of a chicken or a small cat. I noticed yesterday that she has completely outgrown her first litter box (actually just a plastic dish for leftovers). She's either a Holland Lop or a Mini Lop (or some kind of crossbreed lop). And I'm not seeing any signs of puberty yet -- no spraying or moodiness, but I'm also not seeing much of the sort of playfulness I'm used to seeing in babies. That could be from her upbringing. Is there a way to tell how old she is and whether she'll get bigger other than waiting for puberty to strike? She was very skinny when she arrived (had been in a small cage with two big bunnies who looked like they hogged all the food), and she ate bunny chow but had to learn about things like cilantro and hay (it didn't take long :-). Now she's filled out a bit more, so that could account for some of the growth. When do bunnies get their growth spurt? I'd ask the vet but I'm still calling around trying to find a good one, and bunny seems to be in excellent health so I'm not hurrying.
