"The world's largest rabbit" was stolen, and the owner offered a reward to find it!

The recent disappearance of a rabbit has caused concern throughout the UK...

This is not just any rabbit, but the Guinness World Record-holding Darius, known as the "world's largest rabbit".

Darius is a 129cm long, 25kg continental rabbit, already 10 years old this year.

On weekdays, he and his owner Annette (Annette Edwards) live together in a Worcestershire home and occasionally will attend various festivals and events, quite popular with everyone.

However, last Saturday night, some miscreants broke into Annette's back garden fence and stole Darius...

Annette was so anxious that she took to Twitter to plead with the rabbit thief to return Darius.

"What a sad day. Darius, the world record holder, was stolen from his home and the police are doing everything they can to find the thief. I'm offering £1,000 for the prize, and Darius is too old to have children. Do me a favor and give him back."

Although not afraid to conclude, Annette already has her guess as to who the thief is.

"We have some very jealous people around us, and I'm quite suspicious of them.

I'm afraid the thieves know our house so well that they go over the fence, open the large dog crate where Darius lives and take him.

We often let Darius take turns resting in the crate and in the other house to confuse the thieves, but these people knew where he was.

But these people knew where it was, and they stole it just to sell it for money."

Stifling a sob at the thought, Annette said.

"Darius is currently on a special diet regimen and I'm worried he won't survive if he doesn't eat like this ...."

Darius' rabbit life was going very well until he was stolen, and was blessed by the gods, so to speak.

He passed his mother Alice at 129cm in length and set a new record for the "world's largest rabbit".

Darius was born amorous and had more than 30 babies with three different females.

Many of them inherited his large size.

His son Jeff grew to 1.1 meters as a baby, and at one point was on his way to overtaking his father.

The media were watching and building up the momentum for the upcoming battle between father and son.

"Big rabbit! Darius, the world's largest rabbit weighing 25 kg, is going head-to-head with another big guy, his son Jeff..."

However, in the end, the latter didn't put the former on the beach.

Darius succeeded in defending the ring and is still the world's largest rabbit to this day

Generally speaking, the average life span of a continental giant rabbit is only four to five years.

But Darius miraculously lived to be 10 years old, simply the life expectancy of giant rabbits, the oldest of the old...

Speaking of which, we have to praise the owner, Annette, for her dedication to raising rabbits.

Now 69 years old, she was a model, became Miss Birmingham at the age of 29, and has also been a spokesperson for skin care products.

At 60, Annette is still glowing and is the oldest ever "page three girl" (similar to Playboy Bunny) in The Sun.

Annette has always had a love of rabbits.

At age 57, she spent $10,000 to look like Jessica Rabbit from the movie Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

Annette paid £10,000 ($90,000) for cosmetic surgery.

She lifted her eyebrows, filled her chin, injected Botox, made her breasts more erect, and went on a strict diet, losing 20 kg in three months, to maintain her S-curves and make herself truly "Jessica Rabbit".

Annette will be Jessica's dress with their rabbit all kinds of walking, on TV recording, attracting a lot of attention.

Each time, the appearance of the giant rabbit alone, there is 500 pounds.

After owning her first rabbit since she was 8 years old, she has raised more than 100 rabbits so far.

And since 2008, the record for "world's largest rabbit" has been held by the rabbits she has bred.

First Darius' grandmother, Amy, who is 1.22 meters long, took the crown, then her daughter, Alice, Darius' mother, became the largest rabbit, and then it was Darius' time.

It takes a lot of effort to raise these big babies well.

Each year, a giant rabbit consumes more than 2,000 carrots and 700 apples, as well as a lot of cabbage leaves.

These guys also eat a bale of fresh hay every week, because it helps protect their teeth and digestive system.

Calculate the cost of food alone is £ 5,000 a year.

In addition, the rabbits have to be vaccinated against myxomatosis and have their fly eggs removed in time, but fortunately, these are not too expensive and the rabbits do not need too much care.

As a professional breeder, Annette knows a lot about breeding giant rabbits.

The key, she says, is to make sure the rabbits' parents are also purebred giant rabbits, and that they are not inbred.

"As with humans, some breeders make the mistake of having only one of the parents be a giant rabbit.

Both dad and mom have to be big. Jeff's mom, Sally, is just over a meter long, and she's my breeder, too.

The key thing is that rabbits from the same litter cannot interbreed, they must not, and if they do, the baby rabbits will get all kinds of diseases and their teeth will grow indiscriminately."

"You must be curious, the legendary rabbits can reproduce like crazy, or not true? The answer is yes, it's true, whether they are giant rabbits or other breeds of rabbits, they can make 60 baby rabbits a year if they are allowed to choose for themselves.

That would be so cruel that the female rabbits would be killed. So, I control them to have only two litters a year, with 4 or 5 baby rabbits in each litter.

Be sure to keep them relaxed. When the weather is warm, they like to lie under the trees in the garden, but as soon as it gets cold, I keep them all indoors, although the damp weather is also noteworthy and the rabbits' bones can suffer."

In Annette's opinion, giant rabbits are much cuter than other breeds of rabbits.

They are as docile and friendly as dogs, and

After training, they will even go to the bathroom by themselves, follow people around like dogs, and enjoy playing with balls.

They understand their owners' names and will sit on command.

When Annette watches TV, Darius and the other rabbits in the family take turns running into her lap for petting.

But Darius is not as agile as he once was, and now he can only walk around with Annette as a waddle.

When picking Darius up, it's like holding a chubby little friend, but he always struggles a little when he's shy.

Annette stresses that Darius is not fat, but huge.

"He is very healthy, does lots and lots of exercise, has a very balanced diet, and has recently been given a clean bill of health by his doctor."

But she understands that Darius is old and accidents are inevitable...

Annette, an only child, grew up with rabbits.

Now she is the mother of 10 children and grandmother of 14.

She has always believed that if people spend a lot of time with their pets, they will in turn treat their owners with care.

For more than 10 years, whenever a beloved rabbit died, Annette buried them in the garden under the rose tree.

Now that Darius, her most cherished pet, has been stolen in his twilight years, it is even sadder that

Darius had accompanied Annette to work all over the world, was repeatedly reported in the news media, and even had musicians writing songs for him, making him the top stream of the giant rabbit class...

His children were once sold for £250 each (about $2247).

But now Darius is too old to reproduce and has no use for people who have no feelings for him.

It is better to send him home as soon as possible so that he can live his life in peace.

So, thief, return Darius in good condition!
