When we you suggest working on free range training? My rabbit is coming home tommorow and is getting spayed at 8 weeks. We have a bunny house attached to a large dog crate and will have an exercise pen. I would like her free range eventually, at least most of the time.

[@beardsbountifulbunnies1655]

Let them get used to the cage and where the litter box is for a few weeks beofre doing loose in a larger space.

I just got two Flemish Giants this weekend and intend to breed them at around 8 months. They are currently 3 months. Do you think that is a good age to do so

[@beardsbountifulbunnies1655]

Males can start breeding at about 5 months old. Females about 9 to 10 months old.

[@mkv1783]

I have been told that the female rabbits grow to be larger than the male. Is that true? Also, can you talk about the traits required to show your bunny.

[@beardsbountifulbunnies1655]

Yes females do get bigger. And for show standards you need to get a ARBA Standard of perfection book. It tells you the standards for every breed and their colors .

Thanks girl 💝🐇🧘‍♀️🎬👩‍🌾☺

[@kaliwalls8338]

Hi! I am an agrculture teacher and my students are getting into showing this breed! Do you show/ have any tips about how to show them?

[@Lezbehonest444]

Actually Flemish Giants are the largest breed. Continental are second largest breed.

[@beardsbountifulbunnies1655]

No. Continental giants are the largest. Most flemish giants range from 18 to 22 lbs as contis are much bigger. But Contis are not a recognized breed in America. So yes according to ARBA Flemish are the largest recognized breed but continental giants are the largest rabbits.

[@renellebally5344]

What is the best diet for this breed at 3 to 4 months old?

[@clairecadrot2479]

How bad is the shedding for flemish giants? I'v wanted a flemish for a years and I would let it free roam in my apartment like a dog. The possibility for year round shedding is the only thing that makes me hesitate.

[@beardsbountifulbunnies1655]

They don't shed bad. 2 times a year they go through moult where they shed thier entire coat. But if you brush them through it you can get them finished in about a week.

[@amberalexander7637]

Im thinking about buying a flemish cross rex? Is it best to get purbreeds or would a cross breed be friendly with kids too?

[@beardsbountifulbunnies1655]

It doesn't really matter. Cross breeds can be just as friendly if you put the time into them and are calm when messing with them.

[@amberalexander7637]

@@beardsbountifulbunnies1655 yeah okay thanks :)

[@YJKhattari]

Do you find they stop growing after they are spayed/neutered?? My girl needs spayed sooo bad. She is really aggressive towards other bunnies, but I'd hate for her to stop growing.

[@beardsbountifulbunnies1655]

I have never had a rabbit fixed so I have no idea. Lol.

[@beardsbountifulbunnies1655]

But I do know if they are already aggressive even getting them fixed isn't going to help much sadly.

[@kendongeorge8328]

Do you have to sale

[@Silver-zl8rk]

I'm getting a baby Flemish Giant and while they are really small is it okay to keep them in a regular bunny cage until they get average wild bunny size? (Small) (I don't know what their current age is I think like about a week? I will find out later today.)

[@beardsbountifulbunnies1655]

When you bring home a flemish at 8 weeks it will already be bigger then a wild bunny. They hit 5 to 6 lbs by 10 weeks or so.

[@Silver-zl8rk]

@@beardsbountifulbunnies1655 ok thanks for the help. My cage is made for rabbits but it would be really small for a flemish giant. I'm going to discuss with my dad about finding a big cage online or building one.

[@aishaareenaa3152]

I don't think it's a good idea to raise rabbits in side the house but we all can raise rabbits in the outdoor area

[@beardsbountifulbunnies1655]

Only pet rabbits for inside. Mine are all raised outdoors. But I do now q few breeders who have all her breeding rabbits indoors.

[@mad_hare8927]

Sorry to but in but the Flemish giant is the biggest in the world not contental 🤭

[@beardsbountifulbunnies1655]

The Continental giant is the largest rabbit in the world. The flemish giant is the second. Flemish range 15 to 22 lbs. As where Continental giants range over 30 lbs.
