My name is Hannah Woodall and I am 16 years old, and I have had rabbits for about 6 years. Right now I only have 2
Flemish Giants, 1 Lt. Gray, and 1 black. I also added 3 polish to my herd. 1 black, 1 broken black, and 1 choc.
I always have people asking me if Flemish's are hyper since they're so big...it depends. Usually they are
VERY mellow and sweet, but if they weren't handled very much when they were little they can be kind of feisty. My buck is
the sweetest most mellow rabbit I have, but my does are a little bit feisty just because they weren't used to human interaction
as babies. Just choose your breeder well and ask questions.
Flemish's need wood on the bottom of their cages, because since they're so heavy they can get sore hocks if they're
resting on wire all the time.

This is another picture of my buck
He has a really good body type.He won best in show in a 4-H show, because
the judge said he was the best example of a Flemish she had seen. :)

Feeding
My Flemish's get 1 1/2 cups of Purina Show daily. I've tried a few different brands of feed but this one keeps
them at their best. They also get a small handful of C.O.B. (Corn, Oats and Barley. I get wet C.O.B. as it
has a little bit of molasses in it dry C.O.B. doesn't), black oil sunflower seeds, and calf manna all mixed together.
Flemish's (and all rabbits for that matter) need hay for it helps with their digestive system. I feed my rabbits timothy;
it's the best because alfalfa is too rich and it makes them gain weight (which would be fine for a underweight rabbit). Grass
hay doesn't have many nutrients so it is not the best for daily feeding (unless your rabbit is overweight).
