Plow with his 5 foot tall rabbits. |
According to Peter Plow, the farmer, he has been trying to breed the perfect rabbit for years. "In my eyes the perfect rabbit has fur as soft as cotton, a cute wiggly nose, is smarter than most humans and will be full of love."
For over 40 years he has been trying to achieve his dream, and no matter how close he came, he always felt as if something was missing. Leaving him feeling sad and disappointed. Plow no longer is sad or disappointed.
Today he is the proud owner of several rabbits who have more than fulfilled his dream. The rabbits possess everything Plow wanted them to. Not to mention they range in length from 5 to 8 feet long.
When asked how he was able to get his rabbits to grow so big, Plow needed a little coaxing but eventually revealed his secret. Cheetos. Yep, you heard right.
"One day I was cleaning their cages and eating some crunchy Cheetos when I swear of a wolfbat... that's a wolf head on the body of a bat...tried to lift me up by the hair. While I was swinging at the wolfbat, a bunch of Cheetos fell into one of the rabbit cages. A few days later when I went back to clean its cage again, the rabbit had grown an entire foot." Plow related the origin of his 'Mega' Rabbit with a smile that never wavered.
More surprising is the fact that, Plow says that the rabbits growth doesn't seem to have limitations. It seems that all Plow has to do is put a few Cheetos in the cage and over the next couple days the rabbit will grow at least another foot.
While some governmental figures have expressed concern that Plow might accidentally drop a Family Size bag of Cheetos into a cage causing the rabbit to grow large enough to go on a Godzilla style rampage, the majority of Morris, Illinois, have fallen in love with the giant bundles of fur.
When asked what he sees in his future, Plow tells how he just finished watching Avatar, and he would like to create rabbits big enough that they could be used as a mode of transportation like in the movie. Sort of like horses but able to cover more ground at a much faster pace. Plus they can hop. How cool is that.
