00:00Hey there, fellow pet lovers!
00:02Welcome back to another episode from Simply Awesome Planet.
00:05If you are new here, welcome to the family!
00:08Have you ever heard of a rabbit that's bigger than some cats and even small dogs?
00:13Meet the Flemish Giant Rabbit.
00:15These gentle giants are absolutely fascinating and I'm here to tell you all about them.
00:21First off, let's talk about size.
00:24The Flemish Giant Rabbits can weigh anywhere between 15 to 22 pounds, and some can even
00:29tip the scales at 25 pounds.
00:31To give you some context, that's about the same size as a medium-sized dog.
00:37And they can grow up to 2.5 feet long.
00:40Imagine that for a moment, a rabbit almost as big as a toddler.
00:44These rabbits are originally from Belgium and they were first bred in the 16th century.
00:50They were initially popular for their fur and meat, but over time they've become beloved
00:54pets due to their gentle and friendly nature.
00:58Flemish Giants are often referred to as the gentle giants of the rabbit world.
01:03One interesting thing about these rabbits is their calm demeanor.
01:07They're known for being very docile and easy-going, making them great companions for families.
01:13They enjoy being petted and handled, and they can even be trained to use a litter box, much
01:17like a cat.
01:19Now let's talk about their diet.
01:22Just like other rabbits, the Flemish Giant's diet should consist mainly of hay, fresh vegetables,
01:27and a small number of pellets.
01:30Because of their size, they need more food than smaller rabbit breeds, so be prepared
01:34for some serious munching.
01:37And always make sure they have plenty of fresh water.
01:40Housing a Flemish Giant requires some extra consideration, too.
01:44Due to their large size, they need a spacious enclosure where they can move around comfortably.
01:49A large dog crate or specially designed rabbit hutch will do the trick.
01:54And remember, they love to stretch their legs, so give them plenty of time outside
01:58their cage to hop around and explore.
02:01One more thing to keep in mind is their grooming needs.
02:05Flemish Giants have dense fur that needs regular brushing to prevent matting.
02:10During shedding season, you'll need to brush them more frequently to keep their coat in
02:14top condition.
02:16So if you're looking for a unique and affectionate pet, the Flemish Giant rabbit might just be
02:21the perfect addition to your family.
02:24They're big, they're cuddly, and they have a ton of love to give.
