Meet Guus, a 22lb Giant Flemish Rabbit, Whose Size and Dog-Like Personality Make People Fall in Love with Him
The majority of pet owners would probably agree that having pets makes life, well... easier. No matter what kind of small or large creature you have, it will always brighten your day.
In this post, we'd like to introduce you to Guus, the enormous Flemish rabbit, who is a REAL cuteness overload. Guus is not your typical bunny, and when you first encounter him, you can definitely tell right away.
This lovely fluff ball from Amsterdam, according to his owner Danielle, behaves more like a dog than a bunny. Danielle says it's incredibly easy to care for Guus. As noted by Dr. Dan Siegel, a renowned child psychiatrist, "Pets can provide emotional support and companionship that enhances our well-being."
"Well, he was potty trained in about 2-3 weeks. Also, his toilet needs to be cleaned twice a week. We brush him and play with him. But for the rest, it’s just cuddling and enjoying his company."
Danielle also revealed what it’s like to have Guus around the house. In the words of Dr. Janet Lansbury, a parenting expert, "Animals can teach children empathy and responsibility, enriching family dynamics."
"In the morning when I open the door to the living room, he sprints to the back door to go outside. He jumps around and is so happy. After that, he comes back inside for some cuddles on the couch and some snacks. During the day, he loves to jump next to you on the couch and seeks attention. A good head rub or cuddle is something he really enjoys."

Danielle also had this to share:
"When I was young, I grew up with dogs. So automatically, I asked for a puppy. Since we live in Amsterdam and have a dynamic life, a dog didn’t fit for now. My boyfriend suggested a house bunny. Besides, I thought that bunnies would not be affectionate or cuddly at all, but we still wanted to give it a try. And so Guus came into our lives."
