Flasche Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 German giant rabbits were once believed to be things of legend and lore, but in 2007, a giant rabbit by the name of Robert took the pet world by storm. The prodigious blimp of a bunny weighed in at a whopping 23 pounds and when held on its hind legs, it was the size of a five year old child.http://small-pets.lovetoknow.com/rabbits/german-giant-rabbitsI would love to get one of these guys as a pet, but I don't have the luxury to go to Germany and buy one. Does anyone here every heard/have one, and if you do can you tell me about it. These guys are just like most things I like, big.

Flasche Posted April 2, 2014 Author Posted April 2, 2014 And the human portion of me, ask "Can we eat those, or these off limits too"? eh, what's up doc? hmmm rabbit, a bone apatite..They are bred for food. There was a whole north Korean scandal with them too.2. In 2006, Jong-il learned that a man in Germany breeds giant rabbits. He found them delightful and decided they were the key to solving North Korea's widespread hunger problem:So Kim gets in touch with 68-year-old Karl Szmolinsky of Berlin, the world's foremost breeder of giant rabbits, and says he wants Szmolinsky to come to Pyongyang and set up a farm to breed these rabbits. For Kim believes that the meat yielded by these rabbits will end his people's starvation. [...]Undeterred, Kim pays for 12 rabbits, at a cost of about $115 each. He tells Szmolinsky that the rabbits will be kept at a petting zoo in Pyongyang and, in a few months, Szmolinsky will be flown in to help really set up a farm for breeding.In February of 2007, about five or six months later, Szmolinsky gets a call from a North Korean official canceling that trip. Why? Because, Szmolinsky believes, Kim couldn't resist... and ate the giant rabbits to celebrate his birthday.
