Flemish Giants

We decided that we wanted a Flemish Giant, a large rabbit, as our fourth rabbit, to be the "Flemish Overlord" to the thirteen cats in the household. We found a wonderful breeder, Kim Croak, in Pennsylvania, and met the buck, Zouis, and doe, Eeyore, that she had bred. This was to be a special breed, for while Zouis is a sandy, Eeyore is an opal, and a friend and associate of Kim's wants the opals, to help get the opals recognized as an official color for the breed. Here are the pictures of Zouis taken about a little after Eeyore had been bred:

Eeyore gave birth to a litter of ELEVEN kits on June 10, 2007. Three days later, this is what the ktis looked like:

On June 23rd, when the rabbits were just two weeks old, Scott and I drove to Loysville, PA, to Kim's Cuddly Kritters, to meet the batch of four to five rabbits that would be eligible to be chosen in another 1 1/2 weeks based on pictures. We just had such a great time watching and petting these tiny creatures, that were no larger stretched out than a small pocket comb.

We also visited the kits' mother, Eeyore:

We visited with other Flemish Giants as well, the Father Zouis, another full-grown Flemish Giant named Hercules, and this charming little 14-week-old buck named Hadar:

Then, in this one, Hadar is, as Scott put it, "singing opera":

So much has happened since I last updated this album. First of all, here's a "baby picture" of Ben before we picked him up from the breeder:
