Sorry about that.Hi MysteryChicken, as a kid I grew up in Belgium (where they originally come from) and our neighbours did have them (I was supposed to get one baby from them but sadly my dad never build the stable he promised and so my blue Flemish Giant I already had chosen got slaughtered/eaten
They need a much bigger stable than other breeds. Well/massive build, because of the body weight. Never take a growing or grown Flemish Giant at the neck skin, they are too heavy for that. Take them under their forefeet and support their bum. If you practice this from the start it will be no problem when they get older.
Congrats on getting a pair, I wish you a lot of fun with this awesome giants!
They are not very active when grown up (well not as active as smaller breeds) but they need much space. They need to be able to stretch out very comfortably in the hut (they easily reach 2,6 feet when stretching out), they are more prone to heat than smaller breeds. When such a giant does two hops that's already a distance compared with smaller rabbits. They get big litters (11 babies was totally normal at my neighbours). My sister did have a German giant, I'm trying to remember the measurements from his hut and run. I will fetch a yardstick, I'm bad imagining distances.
Would an 8' X 6' hut be sufficient with a 6' X 6' run be good?
Most likely gonna breed them for meat.
Ok. Do you or anyone you know have experience breeding? It's a lot of work and definitely not something you can easily just do for fun.
