Hi
I'm getting a Flemish giant bunny from an animal shelter next week. He is 7 months old, neuterd and litter trained. I've been trying to find out everything I can about these guys, but there is a lot of variation on the web. For food, some sites say to give them unlimited food, others unlimited hay, 1/2 cup pellets/6lbs. What is actually right, because I don't want to starve my bunny, but I don't want an obese rabbit either!
Also, what type of litter should I use in his litter pan? Should I use aspen, carefresh, or Yesterday's News (cat litter) or anything else you may reccommend?

There is also some conflicting stories about whether or not they are wire chewers, so I would like any one who knows how destructive they can be.

And I guess just any other info on this breed from someone that has first hand experiance would be great!
