Erm. From AOL News:

Giant Bunny Just Keeps Growing

Meet Herman: a 22lb, 3ft rabbit that is more than half the size of its owner.

The giant bunny amazed onlookers at a Berlin food and agriculture fair - they first thought it was a giant cuddly toy.

Herman is one of a breed called the German Giant. Most grow to a maximum of 18lb, but Herman just kept growing.

Owner Hans Wagner, who raised him on a diet of vegetables, vitamin supplements and hay, keeps Herman in a specially built, solid oak hutch.

A spokesman for the German Rabbit Breeders' Association told The Daily Mail: "They are good natured, reliable and calm. They are, however, because of their size, not very suitable for children."

What kind of trap would you use for that bunny?

I don't know how you're going to set a deadfall trap for that you would need to balance a piano!

Cool pictures!

I wouldn't want to see what size hole it could dig if it put its mind to it!! :eek:

I wonder if the original idea of breeding bigger rabbits was for food, or just because it was possible?

Scott, not sure what you mean about the deadfall, just use bigger logs, something about 10-12 inches across and 10 foot long would be about right :rolleyes:

Sorry guys, but I couldn't help associating it with Monty Python, which then led to Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Was it not Tim the sorcerer/wizard that said;

"That is not an ordinary rabbit ... 'tis the most foul, cruel and bad-tempered thing you ever set eyes on."

The rest of the Sketch will nopt be repeated due to the younger members of the community

wow imagine if all bunnies were that big?

hunting them would then involve shuffling down the hole on your hands and knees with a birchbark torch and a spear!

might look something like this
