I just got two Flemish Giants this weekend and intend to breed them at around 8 months. They are currently 3 months. Do you think that is a good age to do so
When we you suggest working on free range training? My rabbit is coming home tommorow and is getting spayed at 8 weeks. We have a bunny house attached to a large dog crate and will have an exercise pen. I would like her free range eventually, at least most of the time.
I have been told that the female rabbits grow to be larger than the male. Is that true? Also, can you talk about the traits required to show your bunny.
Yes females do get bigger. And for show standards you need to get a ARBA Standard of perfection book. It tells you the standards for every breed and their colors .
How bad is the shedding for flemish giants? I'v wanted a flemish for a years and I would let it free roam in my apartment like a dog. The possibility for year round shedding is the only thing that makes me hesitate.
They don't shed bad. 2 times a year they go through moult where they shed thier entire coat. But if you brush them through it you can get them finished in about a week.
No. Continental giants are the largest. Most flemish giants range from 18 to 22 lbs as contis are much bigger. But Contis are not a recognized breed in America. So yes according to ARBA Flemish are the largest recognized breed but continental giants are the largest rabbits.
Do you find they stop growing after they are spayed/neutered?? My girl needs spayed sooo bad. She is really aggressive towards other bunnies, but I'd hate for her to stop growing.
I'm getting a baby Flemish Giant and while they are really small is it okay to keep them in a regular bunny cage until they get average wild bunny size? (Small) (I don't know what their current age is I think like about a week? I will find out later today.)
@@beardsbountifulbunnies1655 ok thanks for the help. My cage is made for rabbits but it would be really small for a flemish giant. I'm going to discuss with my dad about finding a big cage online or building one.
The Continental giant is the largest rabbit in the world. The flemish giant is the second. Flemish range 15 to 22 lbs. As where Continental giants range over 30 lbs.
They make the most lovable and intelligent pet companions! So sweet and affectionate 💗
I like rabbits

Males can start breeding at about 5 months old. Females about 9 to 10 months old.
Thanks girl 💝🐇🧘♀️🎬👩🌾☺

Let them get used to the cage and where the litter box is for a few weeks beofre doing loose in a larger space.
What is the best diet for this breed at 3 to 4 months old?
Hi! I am an agrculture teacher and my students are getting into showing this breed! Do you show/ have any tips about how to show them?

Actually Flemish Giants are the largest breed. Continental are second largest breed.

I have never had a rabbit fixed so I have no idea. Lol.
But I do know if they are already aggressive even getting them fixed isn't going to help much sadly.
Im thinking about buying a flemish cross rex? Is it best to get purbreeds or would a cross breed be friendly with kids too?
It doesn't really matter. Cross breeds can be just as friendly if you put the time into them and are calm when messing with them.
@@beardsbountifulbunnies1655 yeah okay thanks :)
Do you have to sale

When you bring home a flemish at 8 weeks it will already be bigger then a wild bunny. They hit 5 to 6 lbs by 10 weeks or so.

I don't think it's a good idea to raise rabbits in side the house but we all can raise rabbits in the outdoor area
Only pet rabbits for inside. Mine are all raised outdoors. But I do now q few breeders who have all her breeding rabbits indoors.
Sorry to but in but the Flemish giant is the biggest in the world not contental 🤭
