[TinysMom]

Woo hoo! I can hardly wait for Tiny to get that large!

I bet that at least half the people on this forum knew more about Flemish Giants than Jack Hanna did though...

Warning - I have been kind of grouchy thepast few days, so my review may seem overly critical. Bearwith me.

ETA - I was not impressed to say the least with the Jack Hanna segment on the rabbits.

The handling of the rabbits was awful. Ms. B, the Flemish,was a lovely light gray doe with an impressivedewlap. They also had a beautiful white Angora(English?). He graspedboth rabbitsjustbehind the front legs and then liftedthem up while theykicked and struggled. I forgot who it was on the forum, buttheir Flemish got a hernia from being picked up incorrectly.Support the bottoms! And could he have been any less informedabout the breed of the rabbits? Ms. B is a FlemishGiant. Still don't know what particular type of Angora theother rabbit was.

On a lighter note. the aardvarks were hilarious!For those that didn't watch, they got a little 'frisky' on Dave'sdesk. A rare thing according to J. Hanna.

 

[ayglnu13]

It was wicked funny! The otter was SO cute! "Looks like he is swimming in a wet basement"

But I wasnt to impressed with Jack Hanna, he didnt even know what breed it was :?

~Amy

 

[mambo101]

At least the rabbits got national exposure. Now Flemish Fever will run wild even more over the country!

 

[Carolyn]

Thanks for filling me in on the details,Jenniblu! I was good up until midnight and crashed.I tried and tried. Wish that Jack was on first instead of theother guy.

* * * *

Mambo,

Flemish Fever has never been so strong before; and it doesn't seem to be losing steam! Full speed ahead!

-Carolyn

 

[sandhills_rabbits]

Wish I had seen this segment..... I would haveloved to have seen the flemish giant and angora. Did Jack Hanna eversay how big the flemish was?

 

[mambo101]

Jack didn't say, but if its the same rabbit mentioned in the above article, 23 pounds.
