Meet the world's biggest bunnies

“Darius is over 4 foot when you stretch him out.” The Guinness World Record holder for longest rabbit in the world lives a comfortable life. #TheNatureOfThings #RemarkableRabbits
UPDATE: Darius was recently stolen from his Worchestershire garden. His owner has offered a $1700 reward for his safe return, saying is was a "very sad day." Read more: www.theguardia...

Darius is owned by Annette Edwards, who has been breeding continental giant rabbits for years, and her bunnies have claimed Guinness World Records four times.
The continental giant is actually quite an old breed of rabbit. Originally bred for meat, the big bunnies’ easy temperament and friendly character made them perfect pets. “They’re very special, they’re different,” says Edwards. “They’re a lovely creature, very gentle, and these guys behave more like dogs than rabbits.”
All of Edward’s rabbits seem to be whoppers - like Grace, who’s already sizing up to Darius at only 9 months old!

Why many wild rabbits and hares are actually in danger of extinction - www.cbc.ca/natureofthings/features/rabbits-at-risk-some-species-are-among-the-most-endangered-mammals-on-the-p

[@dewwie3112]

I absolutely don't understand why cbc docs would show a mini documentary on those rabbits because of the living condition this women put them trought. RABBITS DON'T BELONG OUTSIDE!! Also we can clearly see when she is sitting down with the rabbit on her lap, the rabbit totally hates it! If it's so old then why put them in such stress? It's only going to decrease their mental health. If this women cannot see what she is doing to those poor rabbits then she doesn't deserve to be their owner.

[@user-uc5ih5we8y]

@@dewwie3112 If they are used to being outside, it is fine I think. That's better than switching, by taking them inside and outside when the temperature inside is different then outside. Also, they do get a thicker coat when it get colder.

They look happy and healthy to me, and they are living good long lives. Bunnies love to be outside, and if the weather is suitable, why not? She clearly loves them and is taking good care of them .The big bunnies are special.

I bet the edgelords in the comments going "mmm this isn't a pet it's food" would absolutely flip their lids if someone said the same about their dog or cat. I understand cultural differences in how animals are viewed, but this is not the appropriate time or place to talk about eating rabbits. These particular rabbits are companions, not food stock. If you want to talk about how much you love eating rabbit, do it on a video about cooking rabbits and not one about someone's pets.

[@joshuadrakard2981]

During the great depression rabbits were bread by families in order to have some food. While this isn't the video to.be making edgy comments you have to admit that these would make fairly good bredding stock for food considering that rabbit.meat is much better for eating than chicken.

[@ad480p]

To those that don't know, rabbits do not enjoy being lifted since they're prey animals and associate being picked up with being carried in a predator's jaw. If you have to pick up a rabbit be sure to ALWAYS support their back feet with your hands, because if they kick their feet while lifted they can break their spines.

Jordan Sainte Marie Flemish Giants (or Continental) rabbits are very cuddly animals. They have the personality is equal to a Great Dane dog. If you are looking for a cuddly pet I do most definitely suggest a giant such as this lad. Mini Rex rabbits are a lot smaller and very cute but aggressive and uncomfortable when cuddled.

[@theofficialwatermelon8583]

I have french lops and they’re such babies. They’re very cuddly, kind and docile.

[@t.r.l.4377]

are they tasty?

[@kiwi1761]

A lot of bunnies are very cuddly but please do a lot of research if you get one. They don’t belong in cages and it’s best if they’re free-roamed in your house or have a big xpen. I have a rabbit and he just loves cuddling and pets he actually grinds his teeth when I do it and when rabbits grind there teeth during pets it’s the equivalent to a cat purring. If I don’t pet him he nudges me 💀

absolutely. Me and my husband were discussing that the other day they are like really chill dogs. They get excited and playful and they are fun and dopey and so fun to have around. They definitely have more personality than most people know. They have moods and play games and come to know you personally. It's a very awesome pet to have.

[@ailst]

As someone who has rabbits himself, it disturbs me how she constantly interferes with what they are doing in this video. "You go here." "Don't do that." "You are too old." She seems like a control-freak, who micromanages each rabbit to a degree, that would annoy me to no end if I was one of them.
