(CBS) Ralph the rabbit seems to be the stuff of fairy tales:
Once upon a time, there lived a rabbit named Ralph. He lived in England. But he wasn't any ordinary rabbit...
But this rabbit isn't the stuff of Peter Cottontail. Ralph the rabbit would likely frighten Peter by his immense size. Ralph weighs in at 42 pounds and is about two feet long -- bigger than most 3-year-old kids. And he's still growing, eating about four pounds of food a day.
One could claim Ralph's the biggest bunny ever. However, it can't be officially verified because the Guinness Book of World Records no longer measures pets because they don't want their owners to overfeed them.
But he certainly is something to see. Click on the video below to see "The Early Show" interview from Uckfield, England with Ralph, his keeper, Ella McDonnell, and owner, Pauline Grant.

That rabbit may be the biggest, but it's not the cutest:
Arwen, Rabbit Princess.

We’ve had bunnies off and on for many years. Our latest is the Rabbit Princess Arwen. Our last bun bun lived 11 years and moved all over the US with us. They are wonderful creatures.

weve had many as well....we lost a lop in November whowas our most beoved though - he was allowed full run of the house and was litter trained - His cage was arranged so he could come and go at will.
While young, my wife injured his jaw, so that meant a lifetime of vet visit and "meatball" or bunny food as his teeth were misaligned....Id mix bananna into it and he would literally chase me for his food...he succomed to kidney issues.
We had another that became paralyzed from waist down who lived in a giant tuperware in our kitchen - he was the happiest guy - we'd place him in the clover, and he'd eat a spot and the move his front, until he had eaten himself a crop circle...then we'd move him to a new spot - he was crazy for parsley
Of the others, weve had many many different personalities...they are special animals
