Staff at Chase vetinary surgery, in De La Warr Road were astounded. The White British Giant, named Daddy s Girl, tipped the scales at a whopping 26lbs at her official weigh-in. The previous figure recorded by the Guiness Book of Records was 25lb. Vanessa and Eddie Barden, bred the rabbit themselves. Mrs Barden said: "We re delighted with what we ve achieved." Daddy s Girl - an 18-month- old young adult - had been heavier weeks before. But, in typically feminine fashion, she had slimmed-down by the time of the weigh-in. Karen Kasswell, of Chase vets said: "We re pleased to have been involved and that the rabbit was in healthy condition." She urged rabbit owners to take extra care during the winter months, and to monitor their animal s weight and diet. What s the secret of Daddy s Girl s spectacular success? Daddy s Girl is keeping that to herself. Vanessa said: "She s eats a bit more than the average rabbit - but nothing spectacular..."
