We used to have some of these 'megaconejos' on our farm. Specifically, they were 'Flemish giants', and yeah, they were pretty huge. When you picked them up, it felt like you were holding a small child. And when they panicked and started thrashing, they carved you up with their toenails.

We also had a 'Dutch dwarf' rabbit in the same pen. Two breeds from the Netherlands, on opposite ends of the spectrum. It was kinda neat. They started mating, and fortunately for all rabbits concerned, the father was the dwarf and the mother was the giant.

Don't worry -- we've encountered this problem before and have it covered.

Follow-up.

Quote:

Karl Szmolinsky sold the rabbits to Pyongyang so that they could be used to set up a breeding programme to boost meat production in the Hermit Kingdom.

However, amid concerns that they have been eaten by the country’s leaders, Mr Szmolinsky will not be sending any more.

The 68-year-old breeder had been due to travel to North Korea after Easter to provide advice on setting up a rabbit farm. A North Korean official rang him last week to say that the trip had been cancelled. Mr Szmolinsky said he suspected that his rabbits, which grow to the size of dogs and can weigh over 10kg (22lb), were eaten at a birthday banquet for Kim Jong Il, the North Korean leader, although he emphasised that he had no evidence of this.

"It’s an assumption, not an assertion," Mr Szmolinsky said. "But I don’t think the animals are alive anymore, I think they’ve been eaten."

He added: "North Korea won’t be getting any more rabbits from me, they don’t even need to bother asking."
