Btw Everybirdie, there was a lady who brought in a huge 15lb rabbit at the vet where I took Princess last week. They're called Flemish Giants and they are huge bunnies ranging from 12 to 25 pounds. This one weighed 15 and was bigger than a cat! but quite cute and mellow she was

"Nooo, I don't wanna see the Doc!"

Found this online

They had some in a pet store here a while back. They called them House Rabbits!

 

[Jedikeet]

I would love to have one someday just because they're so big

 

[Therm]

They look cuddly. And delicious.

Great pictures. Many years ago I had a lot of guinea pigs and was involved in showing them,the shows were usually held in conjunction with shows put on by The American Rabbit Breeders Assoc., a friend of mine used to breed Flemish Giants and I always loved them, they are huge!

Understandable. They are as big as a house!

Rabbits make great house pets. I would still own them if I hadn't developed a bad allergy to their hay. I always wanted a flemish giant as well. I just saw someone selling Flemish babies on Craigslist and I had to remind myself the ability to breathe was more important then a big bunny to cuddle with.

OMG! A rabbit as big as a sheltie. :wow:
That would be a wee bit scary.
I'll stick with the little dwarf lop-eared bunnies myself.

I had a lion head rabbit which is MUCH smaller....they are a lot of work and prone to dental problems which I sadly found out and the vet visits were expensive. I absolutely prefer budgies over bunnies, even though both are so darn cute!

I love those rabbits!

I've never been overly taken with rabbits (as pets, we can all agree they're adorable, duh ) but if I had to get a rabbit these big guys would be it, they're so sweet

I'll bet you can walk them like dogs

It's cool you got to see one, Nick!

many years ago my sister was taking care of a bun for a friend. The critter was leash trained (somewhat) and we took it for a walk in the local rose garden! :laughing:
It was glorious how the people turned their heads when they realized the black and tan creature was not a small dog.

The big rabbits do have an advantage though over the small guys. My mom lost a lot of small ones to weasel critters....the big ones would probably sit on them!

That is fantastic! I'll bet they did stare

lol, awesome spot, Nick!!!

 

[RavensGryf]

Wow! Cool you got to see one in person . It looks bigger than the Sheltie, a medium sized dog, that's incredible! Uhmm, you realize that's a huge litter box you would need for one Nick :laugh:

 

[Budget baby]

I have seen them before ,they truly are amazing when you see one for real though. You just want to pick it up and cuddle it LOL.

Oh yes. the bun caused quite a stir!
