i have owned 3 flemish giants. . .soy and soulfood (my 2 females i had) were very sweet rabbits, always full of cuddles.
bruno was my boy,and he ment a lot to me. i had owned rabbitsfor about 3 years before i was aloud to bring a flemmish home (i hadwanted a giant from the get go, but my parents felt it was important tostart with a small or medium breed to get use to handling and all).
i remember the day i brought bruno home, i was at a rabbit show and wesetup next to a guy with a litter of flemish giants. i eyed them allday long, finally he was about to pack up and asked me one last time ifi wanted one (we had been talking about them all day long). . .my momended up buying him for me and i held him the entire way home. . .hewas around 10 weeks old, and already larger then most of the rabbits inmy barn.
bruno lived in a rabbit hutch year round. it was completely decked outduring the cold winter months, and if the temp would be below around 15degrees he was moved into a smaller cage inside the barn. his cage wasaround 3 feet deep by 6 feet long. . .and it was a good 30 inches high.he was litter trained (took to it himself) and was one of the bestrabbits i had. i use to take naps with this guy in a rope hammockduring the summer. . .we would just lay in the breeze for hourssleeping. . .he would sprawl at my side. . . i wish that i had the roomand money for a flemmish giant. . .they are second place in my mind(nothing will outbeat my love for english lops, but flemmies comeclose).
i sold him along with my 2 females to a very nice lady. . .i struggledto sell him in the first place, but then 2 weeks after he left, trixie,my heart bunny died and the thought of losing both of my favoriterabbits in 2 weeks nearly killed me. . .
after trixie died my mom wanted to try to talk the lady i sold him to,to sell him back to us, but in the end we didn't get him back and i gotwinnie instead.
but these guys are a great breed. i have never been bittin by one,never growled at or lunged at. . .they never mind being held, and arealways ready to lounge with their owner. . . a great breed.
