i don’t have one, but it’s my dream rescue bun… someday maybe. i have looked at petfinder for flemish giants and i don’t see any within a couple states… so i think we’re safe for now. lol. altho the woman i got Max from had a few, but they are not for adoption (one of the boys is a therapy bunny!)

i would love a giant rabbit i really would, but i always wonder what they are like to have around the house and how much they cost, ive never met anyone with them i think they would be very expensive

i noticed a big increase with food costs once we got Max. he eats about twice of what Meadow does in terms of hay and greens, so it was a big jump. i think as long as you were aware of this and had rabbit experience so you’d know what to expect…

edited to add:  we have had a couple members since i’ve been here that had flemish giants.  i think they were babies when they joined, so i joke that they stopped coming on BB b/c their giant buns ate them outta house and home…

hehe probably! needed to flog the computer for carrots haha i noticed the huge increase when we got our second aswell, i think we go through alot more than just double what we had with one id say its more like 3times i notice it especially with dry food because the bag is gone so quickly

yes when HB settled in he does eat .  I was used to little 3lb lionheads. And the poop and pee from HB goodness. What a difference from my little ones. HEhe.

I’m pretty sure that our first rescue is a flemish cross…

Anyways from what I’ve read and heard, they are super smart, easy going and lovable Definitely something I want someday!!

i wish someone would come online who has one of those huge 4ft long bunnies, i would LOVE to speak to someone who does.

I really want to get a bonded Flemish giant and Holland Lop pair… I just think that would be really cute It’s on my bunny wish-list…. If I ever see a pair on petfinder I’m going to take it as a sign and immediately go and get them!!!!

you could always bond yourself…

That’s true… but then there would be nothing stopping me from running out and doubling the number of rabbits I have…. which while I’m mentally prepared for that… I’m not quite sure if my apartment would hold up too well to 4 bunnies hopping around… But as soon as I get a bigger place…

Totally, hooty22! I just went to pick up Robbie from the Bunny Bunch, where I boarded him while I was out of town. They have SOOO many adorable buns for adoption, and I want THEM ALL! And one of my favorites was this huge orange beast of a bunny…they don’t list breeds on their info cards, so I have no idea what kind. But if Lizzy is 5lbs, and Robbie is probably 5.5-6, this guy HAD to have been 9-10lbs of bunny. He was EASILY cocker spaniel-sized. And he hopped on over, and wanted to be pet, and had 9″ long ears (guestimating, again), and was a DARLING! The BF quickly nixed any ideas of adopting him (he had an only slightly smaller bonded girl-bun-friend, so I would have had to get them both…and we are way over our limit of buns already, with 4 living separately between the 2 of us), but giant buns are next on my list!

Actually, what I REALLY want is a giant bun, bonded with a Mini-Rex. I know, I’m a freak. But I’ve always wanted a Mini-Rex. And how cute would that be! Big bun and little bun, living in harmony…awwww!

i would love a mini rex too, and yes i sure do want more bunnies as soon as i have more space lol
