- In today's video, we are going to talk about some interesting information about Flemish Giant Rabbit.
When you talk about a big bunny, the Flemish Giant is one of the biggest. The breed’s weight is typically around 10 to 20 pounds and can grow up to 30 inches long. In 2010, Guinness World Records awarded a 51-inch Flemish Giant the title of the longest rabbit. The ideal Flemish Giant rabbit has a long, muscular, well-proportioned body.
The head is broad and the ears long. The breed standard calls for the ears to be nearly 6 inches long, minimum, and the body length 20 inches, minimum. Ears are carried upright. The fur is a rollback, returning to position gradually after being brushed from tail to head.
Flemish Giant is one of only a few breeds recognized by the American Rabbit Breeders Association to have a semi-arch body type. This means Flemish Giants have a longer body and the high point of the rise along their back occurs atop the hips.
Here are some of the interesting information that you need to know.
1. Flemish Giant's Colors.
The A R B A recognizes seven color varieties of Flemish Giant rabbits, black, blue, fawn, light gray, sandy, steel gray, and white. The National Federation of Flemish Giant Rabbit Breeders shows these on its website.
2. Flemish Giant's History.
Originating in Belgium, the Flemish Giant rabbit is thought by some to be the founding breed for all modern giant rabbits. An article about the Flemish Giant breed’s origins posted on the website of the NFFGRB, the breed club for the Flemish Giant in the United States, notes that the now-extinct Patagonian rabbit of England contributed to the Flemish Giant breed. In Bob D. Whitman’s book “Domestic Rabbits and Their Histories,” the author writes that the Steenkonijn probably also contributed to the Flemish Giant’s development. The Flemish Giant likely first arrived in the United States in the late 18 80s, and a breed club for it formed in 1915 with three recognized colors, light gray, steel, and black.
3. Flemish Giant's Personality.
Laid-back and easygoing are two phrases that pop up a lot in descriptions of Flemish Giants. While many of this breed might embody those characteristics, always keep in mind that every rabbit is different, generalizations don’t always hold true. Flemish Giants do seem to be big, lovable rabbits.
One thing all rabbits do have in common is being a prey species. This means that they are warier of new situations. They need to assess whether something or someone is a threat to them. Build trust with your furry pal by moving slowly around him or her and respecting his or her wishes and space. The more you get to know your rabbit, the more the personality will shine through.
4. Taking Care of Flemish Giant Rabbits.
When caring for your Flemish Giant rabbit, consider the following top needs, food, shelter, grooming, and companionship. Safety is also critical, and that applies to all aspects of your bunny’s life. One difference in caring for a Flemish Giant over other rabbit breeds is the size. Being such a big bunny, expect to allocate more space, offer more food, and do a bit more cleaning. A bigger bunny means a bit more of everything.
Rabbit Food. Clean, fresh hay is the go-to food for rabbits. Grass hay makes up about the majority of a healthy, adult rabbit’s diet. Rabbit-specific pellets in limited quantity provide vitamins and minerals that balance out the diet. Limited rabbit-safe vegetables and fruits provide interest and variety as treats. You can also offer limited amounts of nutritious treats like Berries. Clean, fresh water must be available at all times. Dietary needs vary for young, pregnant, nursing, or sick rabbits, so consult your rabbit-savvy veterinarian for advice on feeding such rabbits.
Rabbit Shelter. Your rabbit needs a place of his or her own inside your home. Figure out which option works best for your situation. Your Flemish Giant needs to be able to move freely, lie down, and easily reach what he or she needs. Outfit the home with food and water dishes and bottles, a hideaway, toys, bedding, and a litter box. You also need litter boxes for playtime in an exercise pen or around your home. Keep your rabbit buddy’s home clean with daily spot-cleaning of the litter box and any messes, daily cleaning of food bowls and bottles, and weekly cleaning of the entire space.

We got a Flemish giant last week. He's a little over a year old, completely house broken and is more like having a puppy or dog in the house rather than a rabbit. If anyone opens the fridge he flies across the house to see what's doin in the fridge 😂😂😂. He has his own bedroom and if he doesn't want you to leave his bedroom he runs and lays on your feet so you don't move 😂😂. I will say rabbit proofing the house was more difficult than baby proofing my house for all 4 of my kids combined. He's a curious fella that goes everywhere. I've bought a few baby gates 😂😂🐰🐰🐰
Hope you let your kids do the talent they want to do and not what you want cuz that's bad parenting check TH-cam to see if I am right
@@aviel4218 what does that have to do with anything
So cool! One just showed up in my yard and I'm assuming it was released 🙄not smart in Florida. It's extremely friendly and came right to my porch this morning for food... Ran to store for Romaine hearts and baby carrots 😊it was very happy!!!
@@ninawalters4902 my little buddy has changed my life. When I get home from work he does flips in the air and always checks to see if I brought home treats (I'm a chef). He's so good and has the whole house with our dog and cat who love him too. He's amazing!
@@chefdave12118hey I found a recuse Flemish giant and am doing my research to see if he’s a good fit for our home. When they’re litter trained, is it common for accidents to still occur? A few here or there we could handle but I’ve seen some rabbits that just poop all over and people say they’re litter trained. We’d plan on having a rabbit of this size free roaming.
I just got a Flemish giant rabbit. She is a gorgeous fawn color, we have only had her for 2 days and she has an amazing personality.
That's great!
@@PetsLifeToday thank you!!!
How is she to look after? Requires a lot of work? Or pretty easy to look after?
Where did you get yours? Do you live in the us.
@@wendybraswell5304 I live in Canada. I got her off of kijiji lol. We asked a lot of questions to make sure that the animals were well taken care of, and we also went to visit the property to look at the animals.
I’m sure you could also find breeders off of instagram or Facebook. You might also find one in a shelter.
I just got a 5 month old and she is by far the best pet I’ve ever had. She’s playful, affectionate, outgoing, fearless and gets along great with our dogs
theyre still a rabbit, but they seem to me to have just a little more bravery than normal rabbits. they are SO chill, calm, friendly. :)
Yeah they could probably crush my little cats hahdhahd
My Son Kirby 🐰 is a Flemish Giant. I'm a 73 year old Crazy Bunny Father. Best thing I ever did in years. I Love my Son Kirby 💕& I know he Loves me. He follows me to the bedroom every night. He's a Free Roamer.💘😍❤️🥕🤗💕🐰
That’s the closest thing to the Easter bunny I’ve ever seen
My Son Kirby 🐇 is a Flemish Giant Free Roamer and Eating Chewing Machine 15 lbs of Fun. I Love watching him do the Bunny Flop. I get to see his Big Paws and Beautiful Tail. He does them between my legs at night, when we watch TV together. On the kitchen table and my bed. We go Nose to Nose.🤗👍💞💘🍌🥕🐰🥰
I just got a solid black Flemish giant rabbit! His name is Salem & he has a great personality already. He’s only about 6 months old & a decent size already, can’t wait to see his full size!
My Son Kirby 🐇 is a Flemish Giant Free Roamer. He's a Eating Chewing Machine. I'm a 73 year old Crazy Bunny Father. Best thing I ever did in years. He's my Life. I take him outside in a stroller. We go everywhere shopping, park, farmers market, the Lake and Dunkin donuts for Coffee ☕.💕💘🥕😍🥰🤗🐰
I have one that just recently appeared in my yard... It's extremely friendly and huge! It almost comes to me. I'm planning on building him a large enclosure or bringing him/her indoors....
The world record longest rabbit is held by a Continental Giant (who was over 50lbs). There's no max for Flems, but they're considered to top out around 22lbs.
Flemish might be able to be shown as Contis, but the colors and standard is somewhat different. Flemish tend to be wider and Contis tend to be longer (but they're both pretty big)
Lovely I have a french lop and they are great dog just like a dog 🥰
I’ve got a fawn he’s the best his name is honey bunny I love him call him my little retriever 💚
They are! :)
These rabbits were used on Teletubbies
I've have a Flemish giant he turned 2 a week ago. Never been caged in his life. Even at night which is honestly a bad idea cause he'll never be happy in one now.
Very informative, Thank you so much Sir 😊
Most welcome
Just subscribed!
Just got a flemish. Omg they are so cute. Cat sized rabbit.
i love bunnies
I'm getting one tomorrow to make up for the loss of my skinnypig who died either of a heart attack or eating her cage wood chips. (Is it safe to have these rabbits around cats? I also have a hyper cat at my house who is suspected to have scared my skinnypig into having a heart attack. Btw skinnypigs are prone to heart attacks.)
Any update? Bunnies are actually very easy to have a heart attack, so just curious…
WHERE CAN I BUY A GIANT FLEMISH RABBIT?
