I've always wanted a conti one day. At the moment I just don't have the space for one BUT there is THREE 6 month old conti's in my local rescue where Lolly and Ember come from. Two blue's and an agouti, sods law isn't it when I just can't take on anymore at the moment three turn up at once.

oooh, where is that?!

I'm sure George would bow down to a conti!


I would love a blue cnoti house rabbit (much cheaper than a blue great dane lol)

I'm sure George would have great fun with a conti even though they're all male, George still likes to hump his teddy and Embers head.

The rescue is Bobtails, they're conti cros british giants.

Opinions are like armpits. Everyone has them, and some stink.

Depends how you look at it. Some people don't want a long commitment like you would potentially get with a nethie, for instance.
I think the important thing is just to know what to expect, the same as if you were looking at breeds of dog and their life expectancy.

Doesn't matter how long they live as long as they are well cared for and loved as long as they are with us.

Besides life expectancy doesn't mean much. I had an average 2kg rabbit who died at the age of three under GA, I won't go into the details as it still upsets me but he shouldn' have died that young but he did. Theres also a member on here who has a 13 year old rabbit who is still going strong when the average age for the average rabbit is usually stated as 8 being old. I currently have an 8 year old who is still going strong considering her many problems.
