HISTORY: Originally the Flemish Giant was recorded in Belgium with records dating back to the 16th Century.
It was stated in the records that the rabbits were 4 times bigger than the average rabbit and that they came in various colours. This is when the Giant gene was noticed and obviously encouraged with breeding the biggest rabbits together to continue the Giant lines we see today. These rabbits then became very popular as meat rabbits and other countries started breeding then and in the early 1800s made their way to the Americas were they were very popular and started being exhibited in around 1860s in small agricultural shows.
The breed has been further developed and is the large robust animal we see today.
