Our Continental Giants

We first stumbled across Continental Giants while on the search for good British Giant stock, and, quite frankly, we fell in love. They are lovely big, cuddly rabbits-true gentle giants.  I feel that they make the best house rabbit and it's easy to see why more and more people ae choosing to keep them instead of having a dog.

Chino (short for Pachino)~our first Haaskleur Continental Giant buck.  He really is our baby! You just can't help but fall in love will his sweet nature and his funny character. If only he could talk...He is always so excited to see you and just wants you to open the hutch door so he can fall into your arms (and he's no lightweight!) He just loves you  kissing  him  and will rub his head against yours. He tends to be in the house most days.

It is with a heavy heart that I write with sad news. Chino passed away on the 3rd of August 2009. He had lived to a good age for a conti (4 years) but still not long enough for me and will be very sorely missed. He was a lover right til the end and gently drifted off while in my arms-his head resting on my shoulder  and legs wrapped around me. His final resting place is right outside 'his' hutch where I can still say "nite Nugget" every night. This is one rabbit that could never be replaced. xx

Pearl~ our stunning agouti  addition from Holland...what a love! She is the largest Continental Giant doe we have here at The Rabbitry and just absolutely adorable. Add to these attributes the fact that she has proved to be a wonderful mother too and it's not hard to see why she is loved so much.                                     

Adam~he's a huge teddy bear! Our oldest brown-grey buck. He is so cuddly-he wont even attempt to eat his breakfast until he has had a hug. He just craves attention...there was only one way to take his picture that would do his personality justice!

Herman~ agouti buck, son of Pearl and Adam. Now here's a strapping young buck if ever I've seen one! He definitely has the personality of his Dad and craves attention.

Lucy~agouti doe. Another massive doe, Lucy reminds us of the rabbit from the Cadbury's Caramel advert...she just has the longest eyelashes and the prettiest face! She has a super nature and has proven to be an exceptionally good Mum.

Wednesday Adams~agouti doe. A beautiful young girl, daughter of Lucy, I just know this one is going to be special. She has been out to a couple of shows and is already making a good impression with the judges. Her soppy nature is most endearing...a real sweetie!! Only trouble is, she thinks I should be cuddling/carrying her around all the time and she's getting far too heavy!
