Meet Amy: 'the UK's largest rabbit'

[Mugu]

By Sophie Borland

Her owners claim the three-year-old doe, from the Continental Giant breed, is the largest rabbit in the world after she outgrew her mate Roberto, who took the title in 2004.

The Guinness Book of World Records stopped handing out awards to large animals in that year for fear it would encourage owners to overfeed their pets.

But Annette Edwards, who owns the rabbits, said she had not heard of a rabbit beating Roberto's record therefore as Amy is larger than him, she must take the title.

Mrs Edwards spends £10 on Amy's food every day which includes a dog-sized bowl of rabbit food, two apples, several carrots, half a cabbage and a few handfuls of hay.

No wonder the rabbit looks a little worried.
