A 2.5-year-old giant Flemish rabbit named Guus, weighing 22 kilograms, gained fame in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. According to owner Danielle, he stands out not only for his size, but also for his inquisitive dog-like behavior.
The YouTube channel “We Love Animals” shared a video of the giant rabbit showing that he likes to run around the apartment on a leash, loves chasing cats, will come to the door when he’s ready to go out, and he doesn’t particularly want to. like the food that other rabbits like.
“His behavior is very dog-like, which was unexpected. He knows the door is to go to the garden, and he always jumps to try and open it. Rabbits love bananas or strawberries, but Guus is afraid of bananas. I put a piece of banana in front of his mouth, it’s like he sniffs and pulls back. It’s fun to watch,” said Danielle.
The Guus is part of the largest breed of domestic rabbit in the world, which can reach 15 kilograms, but there are cases where this weight is exceeded, such as the Dutch animal.
Despite its large size, Danielle assures that Guus is very easy to care for.
“She’s been potty trained in about 2-3 weeks. She also needs to clean her toilet twice a week. We brush her fur and play with her a lot. Other than that, she just cuddles and enjoys the company.”
Danielle talked a little more about Guus’ daily routine. “When I open the living room door in the morning, she comes running out. She jumps out and is very happy. After that, we cuddle a few times on the couch and then she eats. She also loves jumping around during the day. She’s on the couch next to me. A good head massage or petting is something she really enjoys.”
The teacher says that the reactions of people and animals seeing him for the first time are very similar.
“Everyone who sees him for the first time is amazed at his size and how friendly he is. Children, adults, but also dogs and cats are very easy to be around him. He has such a wonderful personality. He is such a cute little bunny. I have a big heart and I love him so much,” Danielle concluded.
