I hope everyone is having an excellent but sloshy slide in to Spring!!
I wasn’t planning to breed more Flemish Giant kits this year, but I have had a ton of inquiries the last two months!! Basically, if I can get enough guaranteed sales with a deposit of $50 (refundable only if breed is unsuccessful), then I’ll breed. However, gestation is 30 days then they need 6-8 weeks with mom. So, the earliest I’d be able to have any available would be mid May.
Let me know what you think. I’ve been hesitant because last Spring I ended up with 5 that I had a really hard time selling, not because anything was wrong with them… there just aren’t THAT many people looking for Flemish Giants and my does have litters of 12-13 every time. I hate to think of any of them ending up in shelters and I can’t keep them all and care for them in the way that I think they deserve.
I lucked out last time and one lady took all five and has turned out to be a wonderful bunny owner, but that may not happen every time.
In short…
I’m currently taking deposits for Flemish Giant kits. Deposits are $50. I will not breed unless I have 12 guaranteed buyers.
If you are interested, please send me an email via the contact page so we can make arrangements.

Our family began beekeeping six years ago and began an unending adventure. Among all the other thing we have learned, we realized bees need flowering plants 10 months a year. To enrich our rocky east Tennessee soil and appease Lulu and Arlo, our children who have begged for bunnies for many years, we bought two flemish giant rabbits. Quickly thereafter, we accidentally became Giant Bunny Breeders. We learned the trade over the first year with our Flemish Giants and have since become enamored with Continental giants and are working to develop a Giant French Lop line as well. Giant rabbits are wonderfully funny and sweet pets, and the fertilizer they produce keeps the blooms for bees going for most of the year. We leave an acre of our property wild to allow a buffer habitat for wild species of plants and animals (like milkweed, raccoons and foxes). Our Livestock Guard dogs, Aphrodite and Freyr, keep the wildlife out of the bunny yard.
Following the bees has led us to numerous flourishing, beautiful endeavors that inspire us to mimic the art we see in our little farm. From our home to yours, in addition to giant rabbits we also offer organic produce, honey, seasonal homemade pastries and canned goods, natural cosmetic oils, botanicals and occasionally, artwork and hemp… all free of anything that might harm our planet, children or you. We are currently offering socially distanced, masked, curbside service for pick up or delivery of food. I work with transporters on a monthly basis who traverse the country to deliver bunnies for a small fee. Contact me by phone, text or email if you have questions about any of our products.
