:wave: just a quick question.... which giant is the biggest breed? the largest we have had is french lops, and i know they are small compared to others out there....
we want a giant for a house bun.. not yet , but in the future .my oh would like the biggest bun we could get:roll::lol: and i think it would be nice to have a different breed...
thanks for any replies:D
 
I thought it was the German Grey Giant.... It was bred from a Flemish giant by a German breeder. They were bred for food and I believe were being sold to Korea to help fight the famine. The man breeding them fell in love with one of his 'stock' and decided to keep him as a pet and I think they might be breeding them as pets now. You can't really get them anywhere.

Here's a video. The hutches are disgustingly small. :(

HOLY MOLEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That would eat me for it's dinner!!!
 
:shock: i dont want an edible one:shock:...poor buns:cry: ive seen this:censored: man before....unfortunately:cry:
you can see the "hutches" in the back ground:cry:
 
Conti's are the biggest you can get here :) Unfortunately they have a shorter lifespan
 
the biggest breed is the conti and they live adverage 3-4 years if your lucky they have weak hearts the oldest we have is apple she is 6 !!!
the rabbit in the pic claimed to be the biggest in the world but he was only
17lb and the guy in small so he looks bigger at the time i have captain jack sparrow he was my baby he was 3.5 ft long and weighed in 28lb !
 
There's a breeder near me who breeds Conti's from Holland/German stock. I guess he gets them from this kind of place. They're just as big.....but far better looked after! :(

:shock: Didn't know that. Always heard flemish are biggest, I'd never even heard of conit's until I joined here. Does the US not have conit's for some reason?

In the US there is a breed called the Flemish Giant, although it's not like ours. Ours only comes in one colour, the US version comes in a variety like our british and continental giants :)
 
thanks for the replies:D we just think that we would be great for a giant as it would be a house bun:D and the oh likes buns ,the bigger the better:shock: as they are generally , laid back and mischevious:roll::lol: i understand not all giants will have a great temperament but , it would be good to have another giant as we miss our frenchies:cry:
 
I think the breeder in that picture was in some program about the World's Fattest Pet or something wasn't he?!

Thistle's pretty big. He's a conti.

Thistle! :love::love::love:

I know so little about large rabbits I thought all contis were dark color and had been wondering what on earth Thistle was but not quite liking to ask. :oops: Not much chance of me having a house bunny, but I gather Frenchies make very good ones.
