Very Big Rabbits

[Rolfe 2]

Checking a dozen wires today and removed this rather large rabbit (Top in Picture) it weighed just over five and a half pounds.

When Snareman was developing the "Breakaway" rabbit snare he encountered problems with large rabbits opening up the S link.........and consequently modified the link to be able to hold these larger rabbits .........but still release the non-target species. In trials the snares were being pulled open by these exceptional rabbits........so these big buggers really do exist.

yes rolphe, there are certain locations where there are large sized sized rabbits, colin snared around 60 rabbits one morning and they were very large , so he took them home and weighed every one, the majority weighed 5 3/4 lbs. the rest all weighed in at 5 1/2 lbs. i snared 140 and they all weighed 4 1/2 to 5 1/2 lbs in weight . p and g . has also snared large rabbits at certain locations , i have also snared them in many different colours , natural, black, pure orange, wheaten, pure white, black and white , brown and white , blue, and pure grey. the black rabbits seem to be pretty big boys around this area also. you certainly won,t catch these big fellas in a snare with a small loop set low , and certainly never in a bullsh#t oops,,,,,, i meant a bullseye snare .

i remember about 10 years ago in overton near basingstoke me and a mate was out ,, and saw the freak of all rabbits this thing was chocolate brown with a white neck it was like the size of a bulldog,i kid u not, it must of been crossed with a domestic rabbit, it didnt look like a domestic rabbit in shape them things look fat and lazy ,this was a proper rabbit to look at just massive and a odd colour,, we always talk about it,, ive been to that area about a thousand times ive not seen any offspring from it,,, nor another like it..............

Thats interesting snareman, on one of my permissions I get a lot of black rabbits, but they are all very small, nearly dwarves and have very upright ears.

netter it is the opposite here , they are usually quite large, not unless yours have been crossed with the smaller dwarf type tame rabbits.

I haved one of these when i was young.

The're called "Vlaamse reuzen"(google that) that means Belgian giants or something.

In Holland the're populair to have this summer.
