The size of the teeth when they chew the carpet ?
The size of the teeth when they chew the carpet ?
how big the saddle should be?
What size wellies to buy her?
How many husbuns she can cope with?
*winks*
Are you going to go for it then Tanya?
A few more question please
What minimum size would you say for a giant conti x?
Does their big size generally cause more health problems?
They have a shorter, lifespan rescue told me 5-6 years but I've read alot only make it to 3 is that really true?
Are they nimble and good at jumping or does their size hinder them? The rabbit I am looking at is two years old and is already showing some signs of stiffness/arthritis in her back legs
Many thanks :wave:
I think it depends what they are crossed with. I have a french lop cross here. She is a big girl (but not as big as a french lop), but she has the personality and acitivity levels of a tiny bunny. She does a lot of jumping, a lot of runs and binkying and her size only makes it easier for her to get to places she shouldn't.
Large rabbit, large personality says Daffodil

The lovely girl you are considering is a kg larger than my Flemish doe who I keep on the slim side as she has an arthritic spine.
She is 6ish yrs old so older for a big bun & except for her spine has kept fairly good health.
It seems spinal issues are more common in the giant buns.
But Ondine still manages Metacam aided binkies so I'd say its really like any bun - you manage health issues as & when they occur.
At least you can anticipate & watch out for things that giants are more prone to.
I think you should go & meet her!
