Meet the world's biggest bunnies
“Darius is over 4 foot when you stretch him out.” The Guinness World Record holder for longest rabbit in the world lives a comfortable life. #TheNatureOfThings #RemarkableRabbits
UPDATE: Darius was recently stolen from his Worchestershire garden. His owner has offered a $1700 reward for his safe return, saying is was a "very sad day." Read more: www.theguardia...

Darius is owned by Annette Edwards, who has been breeding continental giant rabbits for years, and her bunnies have claimed Guinness World Records four times.
The continental giant is actually quite an old breed of rabbit. Originally bred for meat, the big bunnies’ easy temperament and friendly character made them perfect pets. “They’re very special, they’re different,” says Edwards. “They’re a lovely creature, very gentle, and these guys behave more like dogs than rabbits.”
All of Edward’s rabbits seem to be whoppers - like Grace, who’s already sizing up to Darius at only 9 months old!

I absolutely don't understand why cbc docs would show a mini documentary on those rabbits because of the living condition this women put them trought. RABBITS DON'T BELONG OUTSIDE!! Also we can clearly see when she is sitting down with the rabbit on her lap, the rabbit totally hates it! If it's so old then why put them in such stress? It's only going to decrease their mental health. If this women cannot see what she is doing to those poor rabbits then she doesn't deserve to be their owner.

I bet the edgelords in the comments going "mmm this isn't a pet it's food" would absolutely flip their lids if someone said the same about their dog or cat. I understand cultural differences in how animals are viewed, but this is not the appropriate time or place to talk about eating rabbits. These particular rabbits are companions, not food stock. If you want to talk about how much you love eating rabbit, do it on a video about cooking rabbits and not one about someone's pets.

During the great depression rabbits were bread by families in order to have some food. While this isn't the video to.be making edgy comments you have to admit that these would make fairly good bredding stock for food considering that rabbit.meat is much better for eating than chicken.

I'm so angry and saddened that Darius has been stolen, and we don't know who did it. Why didn't they have any security cameras around the house something? I know I'm being a bit harsh, but the fact is that maybe one of their family members has stolen the rabbit. Very frustrated ngl
Lovely video! Rabbits are the most wonderful animals!

Beautiful buns! I love them!
To those that don't know, rabbits do not enjoy being lifted since they're prey animals and associate being picked up with being carried in a predator's jaw. If you have to pick up a rabbit be sure to ALWAYS support their back feet with your hands, because if they kick their feet while lifted they can break their spines.
I was waiting for it to say "WHAT'S UP DOC??"
They are absolutely magnificent !
"Stoppit... you're too old!" Darius - "Youre not too old if youre not too ashamed!"
Finally. KZread’s recommended feed showing me quality content. 👌
“Just stop that! You’re too old!” Darius: “Ha! Give me a chance I’ll show you lassie a thing or two!”
Oh my goodness he is so cute... I want one like that...
They're so beautiful and sweet! 💜💜💜💜💜💜

Jordan Sainte Marie Flemish Giants (or Continental) rabbits are very cuddly animals. They have the personality is equal to a Great Dane dog. If you are looking for a cuddly pet I do most definitely suggest a giant such as this lad. Mini Rex rabbits are a lot smaller and very cute but aggressive and uncomfortable when cuddled.

A lot of bunnies are very cuddly but please do a lot of research if you get one. They don’t belong in cages and it’s best if they’re free-roamed in your house or have a big xpen. I have a rabbit and he just loves cuddling and pets he actually grinds his teeth when I do it and when rabbits grind there teeth during pets it’s the equivalent to a cat purring. If I don’t pet him he nudges me 💀

They definitely have more personality than most people know. They have moods and play games and come to know you personally. It's a very awesome pet to have.
My father is 83 and still likes his, “Lady Friends,” too! 😂. Beautiful rabbits!
That fluffy tail is too precious.❤
I love rabbits du laps. I remember my really intelligent rabbit’s du lap was so big, but she was killed 2 weeks ago by an animal. :(. Don’t take your rabbit for granted, their personality is much more than what it seems.
Poor guy, let him be, what else does he have to live for?
I have 3 bonded house bunnies; they are awesome pets. Mine are the best kind: rescued!! (and spayed and neutered!!)

They are so "beautiful n big". Much love peace and blessings to you and your fur babies. 🐇❤💋💐🙏✝️💯
As someone who has rabbits himself, it disturbs me how she constantly interferes with what they are doing in this video. "You go here." "Don't do that." "You are too old." She seems like a control-freak, who micromanages each rabbit to a degree, that would annoy me to no end if I was one of them.
He hasn’t lost his sparkles ✨ she’s too cute 🥰
1:43 The look on that rabbit's face: "What the hell just happened?!"

darius just got stolen from the garden :( i hope they get him back home
Me watching this while looking at my two pound dwarf rabbit 👁👄👁
I thought my New Zealand giant rabbit was big. Still massive, but a little smaller than Darius. Totally the best rabbit ever. So much character and very cheeky. He used to protect our guinea pigs from cats. He was bigger than cats and would beat them up if they tried to kill our roaming piggies. I miss him very much. Best rabbit ever.
"You've been a naughty old man."
Did Darius ever get recovered? Hoping so from the USA I have a huge Flemish giant Doe but not as big as these Continentals. They are still hard to find here.
It's ears are so big too. But they look soo cute! I just want to sleep with them while cuddling them.
Someone stole Darius this week.
I love my bunnies. They're not big liked those bunnies, but they're also cute.
