The bulk of pet owners will probably concur that having pets makes life, well...easier. No matter what kind of small or large creature you have there, it will always make your day better.

And in this post, we'd like to introduce you to Guus the enormous Flemish rabbit, who is a REALLY BIG cuteness. 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 simple to care for Guus.

"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 morning when I open the door of 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. Also 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 likes.”

Did I forget to mention that he enjoys pursuing cats as well?

He also doesn't particularly enjoy the food that other rabbits do

According to Guus' owner, “when all the bunnies go left, he goes right straight away”

Around two years ago, Danielle received Guus as a birthday gift from her boyfriend

"I thought that bunnies would not be affectionate or cuddly at all, but we still wanted to give it a try"

And that is how Guus came into the picture

Initially kept in a cage, the rabbit now has the entire house to himself to play or relax wherever he pleases

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.”
