Welcome to the Rusty Nail Rabbitry...
Welcome to our rabbitry located in northeastern South Dakota. We raise
FLEMISH GIANTS -
the gentle giants of the rabbit world -
for show, breeding and pets. We currently have Light Grey, White and Steels.
We also have just added the lilac variety of Mini Rex to the rabbitry and are currently waiting for the first litter to arrive!


We are members of the Northeastern South Dakota Rabbit Club, the South Dakota Rabbit Breeders Association, Minnesota State Rabbit Breeders Association and also the National Federation of Flemish Giant Breeders.

A little about the breed :


There are 7 varieties (colors) of Flemish Giants, those are black, blue, fawn, light grey, sandy, steel and white. They are a 6 Class rabbit, meaning that they have an Intermediate Class as well as Junior and Senior Classes at rabbit shows.

They are one of a few breeds of rabbits that have no maximum weight limits, it is not unusual to have a 20 pound Flemish!  In order to be shown a junior (rabbit under 6 months of age) must weigh at least 6 1/2 pounds.

They must measure 20 inches or longer from the tip of the nose to the base of their tail or they will be disqualified if shorter in length. The ideal ear length is 6 inches or longer at the age of 6 months.

A Flemish should be as
long and powerful as possible, with full broad forequarters, hindquarters and full chest.Hindquarters should be massive and broad. The body should be well filled, solid, smooth, and firm.

The body should gracefully arch from right behind its shoulder blades, reaching its highest point directly above the hips, and should be rounded and full to the base of the tail.
If you are looking for a Flemish Giant please feel free to contact us to see what is available.
Sorry we do not ship, but we might be able to deliver to a show near you.
