A 51" tall, 50lb rabbit and other musings

Contemplating the rabbits at the Ranch while using 6" long, U-shaped, staples to pin down the fencing surrounding the vegetable garden I was grateful that none of the Hudson, CO rabbits resemble "King Darius" in the UK.

A woman who raises a breed of rabbit called "gentle giants" has raised King Darius, a 51" long, 50 pound rabbit. This brings to mind the claymation movie "Wallace and Grommit and the Were-Rabbit."

According to the UK Telegraph, Darius sits at the dinner table and eats a mountainous bowl of cabbage, apples, carrots, rabbit pellets, hay and then lounges about watching "telly" with his owner.

I would need a really tall, sturdy sort of fence to keep out anything THAT gargantuan. There are none that grow to such a size out in the tiny town of Hudson.
