World's longest rabbit stolen 

Darius bagged the Guinness World Record for World’s Longest Rabbit in the year 2010 after he was measured for an article in the Daily Mail. As per Edward,  he claimed the title from his mother Alice, and he was her fourth award-winning rabbit. In her latest Tweet, she mentioned that the police are appealing for help to track down the world's largest rabbit, after he was stolen from his home. She wrote, “Police hunt after world's largest rabbit stolen".

The rabbit’s official website states that Darius is a continental giant and his babies are sold at 9 months at a price of £250 each. Darius has made a record for his length and not his weight so he should not be overfed. The site further stated that his babies are sold with complete paperwork and a certificate which has their own code. Also, his babies are sold all over the world. They have a full health examination by the vet and are fit.
