The Flemish Giant rabbit breed originated in Belgium in the 16th century, bred for their large size and gentle temperament.
Flemish Giants are renowned for their massive size, with adults typically weighing between 15 to 20 pounds or more, making them one of the largest rabbit breeds in the world.
These rabbits have a robust, muscular build with long, powerful hind legs and large, upright ears that contribute to their distinctive appearance.
Flemish Giants come in a variety of coat colors, including sandy, black, blue, white, and steel gray, with each color recognized by breed standards.
Known for their calm and gentle disposition, Flemish Giants make excellent companion animals and are often described as affectionate and easy to handle.
With proper care and nutrition, Flemish Giants can live 5 to 10 years or more, providing years of companionship to their owners.
Despite their large size, Flemish Giants require minimal grooming, with occasional brushing to remove loose fur and regular nail trimming.
These rabbits enjoy human interaction and can thrive in households with children and other pets, provided they have ample space.
