What a Thumper! - The Rabbit that will eat you out of house and home

Massive rabbit Ralph tips the scales at over three stones and costs the owner over £25 pounds a week to feed. When Pauline Grant was after a pet rabbit for her grandchildren she never expected it to munch his way through as much food as it does each week.

She didn’t realise that the rabbit was a Continental Giant rabbit until she took him to the vets, and they asked her why she had brought that particular breed.

Ralph is a year and a half old and is over three foot. He weighs in at a hefty three stone plus. His favourite foods are Weetabix, water biscuits, apples, carrots with their tops still on, cabbages, toast, sweet corn and not forgetting a huge bowl of rabbit food.

Ralph is safe from any cutbacks in his diet even if his owners never imagined they’d be spending over £100 a month on a rabbit.

Luckily for Mrs Grant, Ralph is getting pretty well known in the local area and as a result neighbours and friends sometimes donate food for him. He now lives in a cage with access to a cellar where originally the Rottweiler dogs were housed.

Mrs Grant has recently learnt that Ralph's is not the largest rabbit in the World, although it appears big is in their blood – his stepbrother “Darius” who lives in Worcester is the current titleholder.
