Flemish Giants

We have started a new breed on the farm! Back in the spring, we had to re-do our rabbit breeding program. So we decided to branch out a bit and try our hand a flemish giants!

I found a woman in Magdalena who raise Flemish rex crosses, so we have decided to give them a shot. The cross wont be quite as big as regular flemish giants, but the second generation cross should throw the rex fur. When grown, they should be about 20 pounds.

This is one of our breeding females. At this point we have 3 females and one male.

We should be able to start breeding in a few weeks. The girls need to grow out a bit more. Sadly since they are so big, they do take a bit longer to mature.
