I strive to raise quality Flemish Giants mainly for meat purposes. I do not raise for show.
(4)

The goal with my rabbits is to improve growth rates, grow thicker bodies and raise good docile temperaments with minimal handling required.

And the purebred Flemish Giants! Only 5 days old and going strong!

F3s are doing great! Will update on the purebreds soon!

Happy Thanksgiving everybunny!

They're here! I figured it wouldn't be too long, rabbits on average are only in labor for about 15-20 minutes. 7 healthy little babies!

24/11/2024

Somebody is in labor! Momma Dot is getting ready to bury her new babies in a big pile of her own fur to help keep them cozy and warm. I suspect babies will be here within the hour!

My final update is this quick little clip of Dutchess. Her and her sister Glori are about 8 months old and hopefully will be having their first litters in January. Dutchess is a gold tipped steel, this is what they look like as adults. Gold tipped steel is not a traditional color for Flemish Giants, but these are purebred. I raise for meat, not for show, and so I don't have to need to follow the rules on color correct breeding as black, sandy, fawn and steel all taste the same. I bred Marcy, who is black out of blue lines, to an agouti buck which is a big no-no in the show industry as it can result in some non-standard colors such as this GTS doe here. But regardless of her color she meets all the physical standards that I try to bring out in my rabbits so to me she is an absolute gem.

And here are Marcy's babies, just over 4 weeks old now. Sorry for the random footage of my barn wall while I tried to get the bunnies situated 🤣😂 getting picked up by one hand like that feels very similar to getting carried off by a hawk so for obvious reasons they don't like it, but at this point they have already acknowledged that I mean them no harm so it didn't take long for them to calm down.

Next up we have Freyda. Freyda is a purebred Flemish Giant bred to my buck Murphy so these babies are purebred Flemish Giants, she is due on Thanksgiving actually. Some does get a little grouchy when they are pregnant and she is one of those does as you can clearly see in this video 😂🤣 I am excited to see what colors I get from this paring!

23/11/2024

More video updates on the way, stay tuned! For my first update is Ms. Dot, due tomorrow. Dot is about 18lbs and she's only 3/4 flemish giant, she's a big lady, daughter of Folly my prized doe. Although these bunnies will not be purebred, I am hopeful that they will be massive, this might be my last litter of F3s as now that I have Loona (doe from my previous post) I can start producing magpie flemish giants. More updates soon to come!

20/11/2024

Only 6 months old and this little lady is just shy of 12lbs. Her mother and grandmother were 18 & 22lbs and it looks like she won't be too far behind! I am very pleased with how she's turning out so far, my very first purebred magpie flemish giant. Took me 3 years of selective breeding to create this beauty and I am excited to bring her into my breeding program next year. She's still a bit young though so she probably won't be having her first litter until March. Can't wait to see how she does!

(Sorry for the poor picture quality, she wouldn't sit still )

Just for fun. Had a day off and was able to spend some time out with the bunnies today. The bucks all got to run around in the grass for a bit, play in some leaves etc. Felt like snapping some photos this time. Enjoy!

Three weeks old already, wow time flies. Bunnies are running around and eating solid food now, and they have the plushiest little winter coats coming in 😍 love my winter babies, they are the absolute cutest

05/11/2024

Almost two weeks old! They opened their eyes a couple days ago, pretty soon they'll be hopping around

30/10/2024

Day 6! Sorry, forgot to post this earlier. 4 more days until they start opening their eyes!

28/10/2024

Day 5! Looks like we have 1 black, the rest are blue and gold tipped steel

26/10/2024

Day 3! Their fur is starting to come in, this weekend I should be able to identify whether or not I have blacks or steels.

25/10/2024

Day 2, bunnies are alive and well!

24/10/2024

Marcy had her babies, right on time! I'm counting 7, blues and blacks, the blacks could possibly be steels, I'll know when their fur comes in. So exciting! But unfortunately this has been a bad year for rabbits in general. I have had more issues this year alone than in the past 13 combined, I still don't exactly know what happened to my previous litter with Ingrid and I am trying to mentally and emotionally prepare myself for the possibility of losing this one too. As of right now they are all alive and healthy, momma Marcy is an excellent mother, I have them in the barn where it's warmer and am hoping for the best, but only time will tell.
Although you can claim them as soon as I know the genders, these bunnies will not be available to go home until January. Stay tuned for more updates!
