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)
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)
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)
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)
Not sure where I can find better documented references on size. All of my house rabbit books assume you're keeping a more reasonably-sized breed like a Rex or a Polish. I have, however, owned four Flemish Giant house rabbits myself - the heaviest of which appears in the picture at the top of the page. Emily was a spayed (rabbits tend to put on some weight once you spay/neuter them) doe, and at her peak she weighed about twenty pounds and measured almost three feet from the tips of her front paws to the end of her back feet when fully elongated - a common resting position for rabbits of this size and temperment. The other three Flemish Giants (two does and a buck) were smaller and topped out in the 17-18 pound range.
I know breeders who show their Flemish frequently have rabbits that weigh more, but it's uncommon to them to get heavier than 22-23 pounds unless you feed them an unhealthy diet. Like many other pet animals, rabbits will eat junk food (I even heard of one rabbit that became fond of Fig Newtons!) if provided by their owners and it affects them pretty much the same way it does us.

The result of the move request was: consensus to move the pages, except no consensus in the case of Peppin Merino, per comments pertinent to the proposed moves in the discussion below. Dekimasu よ! 22:47, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
Additional rationale for Peppin Merino sheep: "Merino" is also a type of guinea pig (cavy), e.g. English Merino cavy. — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼ 08:57, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

You're also confusing a status quo ante discussion at Talk:Teeswater sheep (a discussion about whether to revert undiscussed moves in the interim before discussing the merits of the moves) with a discussion of the merits of the moves; they're unrelated. You're also evidencing serious difficulty with English spelling and capitalization, and getting proper names correct; I don't mean that in a snide way, it's just a matter of WP:COMPETENCE, as this is a nuanced discussion about spelling, proper naming, and capitalization in particular. And finally, you're sorely confusing, well, everything, as you did in earlier discussions. Flemish Giant is the breed name. No one contests this. For reasons already covered at a previous near-identical RM, this name doesn't work here, and needs to be Flemish Giant rabbit for disambiguation and recognizability reasons. That does not at all imply any of the confused ideas you suggested, which would be implied by Flemish giant rabbit. Finally, your concern that the breed name itself is being misrepresented isn't correct either, which would be the case with Flemish Giant Rabbit. Oh, the case you didn't mention here but did in all the other discussions: No, it shouldn't be Flemish Giant (rabbit), per WP:NATURAL policy. |

10:52, 24 September 2014 (UTC)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)
