Flemish giant
The first standards for the breed were written in 1893. The Flemish Giant is an ancestor of many rabbit breeds all over the world. The Flemish Giant was exported from England and Belgium to America in the early 1890s to help improve the size of meat rabbits during the great "rabbit boom."
ARBA standard has seven different colors; black, fawn, light gray, sandy, steel gray and white. Their minimum weight for a senior doe is 14 lbs and the minimum weight of a Senior buck is 13 lbs (ARBA Standards of Perfection). A senior doe can take 1 year to reach full maturity. A senior buck can take 1.5 years to reach full maturity. It is not unusual to see a 22 pound Flemish Giant.
Due to its large size, the Flemish Giant needs substantial living quarters that provide ample opportunity for physical movement.
The Flemish Giant has many nicknames, first and foremost the "Gentle Giant" for its uniquely docile personality and also the "universal rabbit" for its varied purposes as pet, show, breeding, meat and fur animal.
