I’ll post some pics in a little bit. Is there anything specific you’re looking for in pictures and info? Like size, food, supplies, personality, ect?

This is a post for anyone who has a Flemmie or is concidering one.  I adore my Abby.  When she streches out she is 36″ from the tip of her nose to the end of her toes.  She is about 11lbs now.  Not huge for a Flemish Giant.  She is completely free range and has full run of all 3 floors of our house. 

She eats A LOT.  We will go through anywhere bewteen 3 & 4 40lbs bales of hay a year.  She loves her Timothy hay.  For veggies she eats 3-4 big romaine hearts and 2 big bunches of parsely and cilantro every week.  She also gets a HEAPING 1/4 cup of pellets twice a day.  When we went down to 1/4 cup twice a day she was losing too much weight. 

For bedding we use wood pellets that I get from a local stove store that makes them specifically for animals.  We go through 1 40lbs bag every month.

We have 2 litterboxes for her.  One is an old cage base that was given to us when we adopted her and the other is an under the bed storage tote.  Both are about 20″x32″. 

Her hay racks I made myself with wire stacking shelves and nic grids. 

Her carrier is an Intermediate sized dog carrier which is 28″Lx21″wX22H.  When she streches out in it her head usually hangs out on the floor. 

She’s not a big player.  She likes to be lazy, lay around and snuggle.  She does like to zoom around the floor which requires a very large open area.  We buy concrete forms from Menards as tunnels.  I also like to get big boxes for free at Sam’s Club when we check out.  They won’t hold up to her jumping on them but she does like to lay in them.  She does have one big box from my exercise bike that has hole cut in it which she loves to run through.  She has a digging box but rarely uses it.  She also like willow or grape vine wreaths. She’s not much of a chewer or digger.

Bunnyproofing is NOT easy.  Thankfully she can’t get under the couches.  NIC grids have been a lifesaver!  One bite from her will sever a laptop cord in two.  I try to make sure any cord are behind furniture of behind NIC grids.  If I need to keep her out of a room it requires 2 baby gates stack on top of each other.  She jumps 1 with ease.  My bed is 30″ to the top of my mattress and she jumps up there all the time.  Especially to wake me for breakfast if I have over slept. 

That’s all I can think of at the moment.  Please ask if you have any questions.  I’m more than happy to answer and help.  =)

Now for pictures.  Here’s a few that show her size and her things. 

Here is a picture of Abby and my husband right after we brought her home.  To let you know how big she is, he’s 6’1″.

Here she came to lay with us during a movie.  (please excuse the mess.  this was taken shortly after my knee surgery)  The cat cubes in the picture were way too small for her so I sold those.

Here is Abby laying with me. 

Her in her litterbox with her hay rack.  I needed it to be free standing since they are out in the open.

One to make her look huge. 

and one to make her look small.  This beanbag is 5 feet wide by 6 feet long though.

What a beautiful girl! I just love her coloring and her expression is so sweet.

Ooh, I love the bean bag pic! It does make her look small. You are always so good to indulge our curiosities . Is she considered a palomino?

If anyone would like to see more pictures I can add some later tonight. Just let me know.
Thanks TriBun. Her color is called Fawn.

She is gorgeous!
What a great hay rack you came up with.

Awh!! Does she like to snuggle? The bigger breeds look like they would be haha

Such a pretty girl. I love the Pepsi pic.

Thank you! Yes she does like to snuggle. She likes to curl up against you while you pet her.

eeeeaaaa! Abby! So big and cute!

i noticed a computer cord on the bean bag does she not chew them lol shelby does

I love flemmies!!! In the future I want a flemmie and a lion head pair. I have even picked out their names. Cognac and Chardonnay. I have decided that all of my future rabbits will have wine themed names. All of our pet names silly have themes.

She does chew them. I was laying with her that night while I was using the laptop that was charging. I got up long enough to take the pictures and laid back down with her. She’s never unsupervised with cords. =)

lol ok i was gonna say u MUST b bunny whisperer to get her to not do that lol
