Talk:Flemish Giant rabbit

message: This article needs a better picture: something next to the rabbit that gives a sense of scale.  e.g. a person holding a rabbit, or something like that.  — Steven G. Johnson (talk) 06:44, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

message: There should be attribution and citation for lifespan:
"can live for up to five years or more, with many living into their late teens."
Larger rabbits tend to have slightly shorter lives than smaller non-dwarf breeds, and in my experience 12 years would be an interesting outlier on the long side for a large breed.  "many living into their late teens" defies the experience of many rabbit owners, unless contributors can demonstrate otherwise.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.84.202.191 (talk) 03:57, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

message: I was surfing along reading bits on tea and discovered this wiki article with false information concerning "red tea" stating it's not "true" tea.
The person who wrote this article is making a mistake, since there are two red teas: one is true tea, the other is commercially called red tea but is from another plant, rooibos.
Commonly, red tea refers more to the "true" red tea, and comes from the same camellia sinensis plant as white, green and black (color differentiation is only due to aging, fermentation and drying conditions). Some consider red tea is intermediate (in terms of oxidation-fermentation) between green and black teas, while others just call black tea "red tea" in their country.
If rabbits can have green, black or white, they can have red tea too, but I have no clue about rooibos. 
Just replace "red tea" in the diet article with rooibos and remove the part saying red tea isn't true (camellia sinensis) to avoid ridicule .  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.240.163.245 (talk) 22:14, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Red tea in diet:  false information  

message: I've edited the diet section and I think it takes out a great deal of the 'how to' aspect.  I am still looking for references to the top size of Flemish Giants - the article says 50 kilos and that can't be right (120 pounds?!?!)  Also - if someone could clarify where weasel words occur so they can be addressed, (if not done so already) that would be great. Kerani (talk) 15:02, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  References needed; question on weasel words 

message: The Diet section mentions that "After females deliver kits, and during winter for all Flemish Giants, the rabbits must be fed as much as they can eat, and given plenty of water." However, later on, it mentions that "The House Rabbit Society recommends two cups of chopped leafy vegetables per 2.7 kilograms (6.0 lb) of body weight and no more than two tablespoons of fruit or carrots per 2.7 kilograms (6.0 lb) of body weight daily." I'm guessing that the latter sentence applies to the rest of the year and to rabbits without kits, but I can't say for sure.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by QuarterNotes (talk • contribs) 02:07, 27 July 2020 (UTC)
