I am in the very, very early stages of considering getting a giant bunny. I'm just looking at pros/cons (cost,space,time,etc....) and whether it would work with the buns I have.
I have never previously had a 'set up' that could accomodate one having previously had a standard hutch set up. However I think I may have now. (My 3 existing buns live in a dog kennel 10ft by 4 ft, with extra shelving for them and we are currently planning for a run on the front that will be 10ft by 6ft) Thier whole daily area will be 10ft by 10ft. I'm not sure if that would be considered big enough for 4 buns, including a giant?. I also have a secured 'open' area of the garden approx 50ft by 30ft.
I have a couple of questions :-
Has anyone introduced a giant bun to an existing bonded group. Has it worked? Can big buns live safely with 'normal' sized buns? (Taking into account normal bonding issues)
Do many giants come through the rescues? I know I shouldn't really be too picky but I love the Papillion breed. There seems to be lots of breeders advertising on the internet for this breed but not many in rescues? I don't mind caring responsible breeders but I don't know anyone for 'giants' and I have been reading lots of 'excellent breeding doe for sale' ..etc which puts me off. If someone is happy to wait for a particular breed, assuming you are home checked, would a rescue keep your details in mind?
Just wondered.
