Flemish Rabbits for Sale for sale in Hinckley, Leicestershire

The Flemish Giant, also known as the Flemish Giant rabbit or simply giant Flemish, originates from the Flanders region of Belgium. Developed in the 16th or 17th century, this breed is famed for being one of the largest domestic rabbits, with adults commonly weighing between 15-20+ lbs. Characterised by a long, semi-arch body, broad head, and long upright ears, their dense, glossy coat comes in seven colours, including light gray, black, and sandy. Nicknamed the "Gentle Giant," the Flemish Giant is renowned for its calm, docile temperament, making it suitable for families with older children and other pets, provided supervision is maintained due to their substantial size.

Proper grooming and veterinary care are essential to maintaining their health and longevity, usually around 8-10 years.
