Reader's Comments on the Flemish Giant Rabbit

Added on Jan 1st, 2008 If you are considering a rabbit, think about the Flemish Giant. Right now I have a loving pet and companion. I have a 20 pound Flemish Giant who is spoiled (she even had seven presents under the Christmas tree this year!). She, Alice, is my best friend. When I have had a bad day, she always knows how to cheer me up--by jumping into my lap and giving me a kiss. Also she loves to play games and run through the house. But having a Flemish Giant is not only fun and games, they take a lot of work. - but they give you a lot of love back.
