Gentle Giant Bunnies

Thursday, March 16, 2006 at 1:45 am



I’m in awe. Look at the size of that bunny!

This huge bunny weighs a massive 7.7 kg (17 lbs), and his ears are a 21 cm (8.2 in) long and he is almost 1m (3 ft 3 in) tall.

The German Giant is big for his breed, which usually tip the scales at around 6kg (13 lbs).

Herman lives in a specially built solid oak hutch and chomps his way through just over 2 kg (4.4 lbs) of food a day. Hans Wagner, his owner says his favourite snack is lettuce. The giant bunny, also takes a vitamin supplement to keep him healthy, and munches through a bale of hay a week.

Rudi, like Herman, is a German Giant, and tips the scales at 8.7 kg (19.2 lbs), a kilo more than Herman.

Je suis impressionné. Regardez la taille de ce lapin!

Ce lapin immense pèse un très respectable 7.7 kg (17 lbs), et ses oreilles sont longues de 21 cm (8.2 in) et il fait presque 1m (3 ft 3 in) de hauteur.

Le géant allemand est gros pour sa race, qui a comme moyenne environ 6kg (13 lbs).

Herman vit dans une huche en chêne construite spécialement pour lui et il grignotte juste un peu plus de 2 kg (4.4 lbs) de nourriture par jour. Hans Wagner, son propriétaire dit que sa collation préférée est la laitue. Le lapin géant ingurgite aussi des suppléments vitaminés pour le garder en santé, et il se fait les dents en passant au travers d’une balle de foin par semaine.

Rudi, comme Herman, est un géant allemand et il fait pencher la balance à 8.7 kg (19.2 lbs), soit un kilo de plus qu’Herman.




His owner was going to eat him, but after his brush with fame, decided he was too fond of the gentle giant and decided against serving him as a dish.
“He is the king of the barn!” said Erwin Teichmann, the owner.

Rudi crushes Herman’s claim at the title of biggest bunny, but even he isn’t the heftiest hopper in the world.

That honour could go to Robert, who’s owned by Karl Szmolinsky, and has reached a massive 9.2 kg (20.3 lbs).

Son propriétaire avait songé à le manger, mais après avoir goûté à la gloire, il a décidé qu’il s’était attaché à son gentil géant et a renoncé à le servir comme repas.
(traduction)”C’est le roi de l’étable!” a dit Erwin Teichmann, le propriétaire.

Rudi bat Herman pour le titre du lapin le plus gros, mais même Rudi n’est pas le plus costaud du monde.

Cet honeur pourrait revenir à Robert, qui appartient à Karl Szmolinsky, et a atteint un poids incroyable de 9.2 kg (20.3 lbs).




My bunnies, Bowser and Marvin probably weighs 2 lbs (1 kg). They’re no competition for these giants. I can only imagine how much work these bunnies are! As they say, more food in, more food out.

Mes lapins, Bowser et Marvin pèsent probablement aux alentours de 2 lbs (1 kg). Ils ne sont donc pas de taille pour ces géants. Je ne peux qu’imaginer combien ces lapins sont d’entretien! Comme ils disent, plus de bouffe à l’entrée, d’autant plus à la sortie.

    […] Tuesday, January 16, 2007 at 2:46 am Karl Szmolinsky’s Giant Rabbits About a year ago, I was blogging about gentle giant rabbits, and most precisely, about a breeder in Germany named Karl Szmolinsky. It has become a pretty popular article for search engines It seems that Mr. Szmolinksy caught the attention of Kim Jong-Il, in North Korea, since he sent representatives of the country to negociate a deal with him Indeed, I don’t know exactly why, but North Koreans think they can solve their food shortage probleme by using Mr. Szmolinsky’s giant rabbits, as reported by the German newspaper Der Spiegel. Each rabbit can produce 7 kg of meat, which is enough to feed about 6 to 8 persons for a meal. As we know, rabbits have a fast reproduction cycle of about 1 month, and each reproductive rabbit couple can generate 60 to 80 individuals in a year. Now, the question I ask myself is: with what food do they think they will feed the 80 giant rabbits?!. It takes hay, vegetables, pellets. If they can’t even survive with agriculture, I can’t see how they will break even by feeding the rabbits enough food so they can grow. M. Szmolinsky made a special price for his newlyfound communist friends: €80 instead of the usual €250. It’s good to look pitiful, eh? Personally, I would not eat those, but I can understand those who do. Chinese eat cats and dogs, after all. And Indians don’t eat cows. To each their own sacred animal Good luck to North Koreans. Though I secretly hope that the rabbits will escape their burrow and invade the whole Korean peninsula. Wouldn’t it be cool?
