Mammoth rabbit Darius’ diet of 4,000 carrots yearly has earned him a Guinness World Record as the world’s largest bunny.
The rabbit weights three-and-a-half stone and has the appetite to match, munching on 12 carrots a day, plus cabbage, apples and two large dog bowls full of rabbit mix.
Darius measures 4 ft 4 inches, which is nearly the same same size as Mia, six, a friend of its owner.
Owner Annette Edwards, 62, from Worcester, has to spend £2,500 a year just to feed her giant pet.
She said, “If Darius had his way he would never stop eating. He is very greedy. I have to really watch him.
“I let him eat as much hay as he likes, on top of his food, but he always wants more. I have to be careful about how many carrots I let him have because he loves them – especially the green tops.
“He has a great personality and so I can’t be too angry when he is trying to sneak more food.
“Darius eats me out of house and home but he is very active which is good for his health.
“There is no secret to growing the world’s biggest rabbit. I just look after Darius as if he was a dog. I treat him really well and indulge him in the odd carrot or 12.”
Five-year-old Darius is a Continental Giant rabbit.
