My Son and his girlfriend brought it from the blue cross rescue at Burford near Oxford back in Aug at 3 months old it weighed less than 2kg .
5 months on and she weighs over 3kg.
Anybody got one, and knows what kind of weight she may reach. :happy:

Big, had 1 as a kid.

Went to the vets in a pull along (sholley) trolly & lived in a double converted ktchen cupboards.

Dumbo was a big lass,weighd a ton too,couldn't lift her.

Easily 3 tmes the size of my dutch rabbit.

What colour is it?

My yard owner keeps rabbits for food, and they grow really big... about 2.5feet long and about 3-4kg.

But they are just "normal" rabbits.  I've never heard about giant rabbits (apart from the Flemish, but obviously they're not French!)

logan is an  orange agouti coloured (like the wild rabbits but with a gingerish tuft behind the ears) giant continental rabbit. his ears are upright and not lop. he is like a 4yr old tantrum throwing child. if he doesn't like what he's given he picks up his bowl and tosses it out of the cage before chewing the drinker holder to bits and rolling it to the edge of the run and ramming it into the wire....usually this translates to...'i hate celery and green beans...GIVE ME JACOBS CRACKERS NOW!'

p.s he will be 1 in march.

We had 2 female giant lop earred rabbits when our girls were young.  We had them for about 2 years when one died suddenly and then her sister turned into a phsyco.  She attacked our eldest daughter and she still has the scar on her wrist.  We took her back to the breeder who used her for breeding.  We used to go and check on her and she seemed really happy with her baby bunnies.

Know this is a bit of a random aside Shetan but I thought most people up-size in pregnancy! Just noticed your signature.

sadly kate its not me who is down-sizing...i'm only just beginning to show. its the farm that is getting smaller. my sister has taken the two little bunnies, the white brahmas and the budgies. her pooch will be going home next month once her kitchen's in.

most of the chooks have been sold/given away and i'm devastated - especially about my cochins and brahmas. hubby has finally given in on keeping the jersey giants but i'm still trying to keep the speckled sussex.

with 3 big dogs and the garden a churned up mud field its getting harder and harder to get up the end to feed/water and clean them out. hubby works 12hr shifts, 7 days a week and we don't have any family to come and help...so sadly they've had to be rehomed.

baby was a massive suprise as i was told at an early age that it'd never happen without ivf so we've been caught on the back foot. was in the process of getting quail and i'm still lusting after one ( or two) of scab's piggies though! - sorry the post got sooo long
