Darius, a giant rabbit owned by breeder Annette Edwards, was measured at 4 feet 3 inches, or 129 centimeters, in Worcester, England, on April 6, 2010. Guinness World Records recognized him as the longest rabbit. The record concerned length, not weight. Accounts differ on his breed, identifying him as either a Flemish Giant or a Continental Giant.

Darius' grandmother Amy measured about 4 feet and was one of Edwards' earlier record rabbits. His mother, Alice, held the title after Amy died. Edwards had held successive biggest-rabbit titles with different animals since 2008. Darius appears held upright beside a child, while Amy appears with Edwards and beside a display of carrots. Other scenes show large domestic rabbits with their owners, including grey, white, brown and lop-eared animals from several giant breeds.

I have to go and research this.


are they a specific breed, or is this a result of specialized nutrition?


they look as if they would be fun to have around.....although the wild ones can be quite vicious.


Now I can add to my menagerie.

There are British Giant rabbits and other breeds. It's not due to over feeding though pink, they are an actual breed.
