Simoman 110 Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 This is one of my Belgian Vlaamse Reuse bunnies. This one is a 19lb buck. I also have a 22lb doe. They were originally bred for meat but are now kept mainly for show. Could be interesting if a small colony bred in the wild Quote Link to post

Think these would need a badger sett rather than a warren to fit in Quote Link to post

Simoman 110 Posted July 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 does that rabbit move about any sense or do they just lay around mate.just curios cheers lee The behaviour and movement is relative to normal sized rabbits. You do have to be carefull though cos' a scratch and bite from them is a tad painfull They are quite athletic, the buck cleared a 3'6ft pen to reach a doe Quote Link to post
Guest jeff.s Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 (edited) A FEW YEARS BACK I USED TO BREED BRITISH GIANTS, I USED TO X SOME WITH OTHER LARGE BREEDS JUST FOR MEAT COS YOU COULD EAT THEM AT 3MONTHS OLD. I PAID 20 POUND EACH FOR MY GIANTS AND THAT WAS 20 YEARS AGO WHAT PRICE ARE THE RABBITS COST. SIMOMAN Edited July 9, 2006 by jeff.s Quote Link to post
