We love our big girl Serena. She's an almost 20 pound Checkered Giant, and they are very active for the larger breed of bunnies. Can't wait to see pics.

Mine will be a Red eyed white, and I plan to get a buck, I will name him Roger, the lady who I am getting him from does meat rabbits, so kinda like saving one lol, she said her doe is 1 week preggers and she always has lots of boys, so I get first choice at a baby yay, then the rest will be food

Well then, he'll be the luckiest bun in the litter.

I have 2 7 week old Flemish giants that I've already had for almost 4 weeks (bad breeder). I'm loving them, such sweet buns! I also have a checkered/flemish mix who is not sweet, but has a fun personally anyway.

At least you can save one bunny. I bet he'll be adorable can't wait to see pics!

The breeder giving me him when he is 4 weeks old so she can separate him from the meat rabbits, and fatting the others up :/ so he will be tiny when I get him, Ill post so many pics as he grows up

 

[Ilovemyrabbit]

I'm glad your saving one! And I can't wait to see the pictures!

Is there any way to talk her into keeping him with the litter for a couple more weeks?

I got mine at three weeks old, and they did ok. I tried greens with them, because I couldn't be sure they were eating enough pellets and they didn't eat much hay, but the greens always resulted in soft poo. By 4 weeks, I knew they were eating well enough on the pellets so I stopped worrying. They only get pellets, hay, and grass.

They're 7 weeks old today(ish) and about three lbs each (poppy was 10 oz and hazel was 12 oz when I got them), so I think we did ok.

Good luck with your little (big) guy, and don't forget those pictures!

At 4weeks they on a high fatty diet for the meat ones, and she doesnt want mine eating it if its going to be a pet, so she gives pet ones at 4weeks, other wise she will mistake him as a meat one and he will end up being food.

Hey guys I got my new bunny but didn't get a red eyed white instead I got a pure bred Flemish white with blue eyes he is 6weeks old and so sweet still named him Roger, he was really dirty when I got him so I had to give him a bath which he liked lol he wasn't scared at all.

How cute! I see a bunnings seagrass mat under there Bandit has pretty much destroyed his first one, it's rather misshapen and tattered. I bought 3 more the other day but with the decrease in price they seem to have decreased the quality/thickness of them too. Nevermind. Roger looks so innocent in that pic where he's sitting in his litter box. Whenever Bandit wants to look innocent he grabs a piece of hay and starts munching!

Roger is settling in nicely he is very much enjoying his cuddles and always comes up for pats will post more soon of him as well as my baby Storm my mini lop
