Hello and welcome to RabbitTalk!

Welcome, enjoy the forum. Do you keep pet rabbits too?

 

[jencosta1]

All my breeders are my babies. They come out and run around every day and i constantly give them live. They are all very friendly and love to cuddle.

 

[Nibbles]

Such a treasure. Thanks for your response.

Are the Flemish Giants a better breed for meat than the other two? I'd heard that they grow slower?

Yes, they are fantastic meat rabbits but they do grow slower. Ours are around 15-17lbs. Meat is delicious and lots of it. Wonderful pets too!

Wonderful pets too!

I had a Foster rabbit named Rose. Flemish Giant and Lionhead mix. He was so nice and friendly!

My doe had her babies this morning! Last December she had 10 but they were all premature (28 days) and they all died. She went 31 days. Not sure how many yet!
