Flemish giants, when not as house pets, are typically used to show for 4H projects. They are not desirable as typical meat rabbits due to their bone mass at the fryer age, but they are desirable as roasting rabbits when raised to at least 6 months.

Can you import the Flemish Giant rabbit to Thailand?
Yes you can. I bought a Flemish Giant in Bangkok four years ago and he was imported specifically for me by a breeder in Bangkok. Most recently I have imported four pedigree Continental Giant rabbits in to Thailand from the UK. Continental Giants are considered to the world's largest rabbit breed and bigger than Flemish Giants. You can see the four month old Continental Giants at Latis, my small farm in Ubon, Thailand. See the related link below for more information.
