Continental Giant Rabbits in Godalming, Surrey

Continental Giant rabbits tend to have a higher initial purchase cost compared to other rabbit breeds. While exact prices vary, their monthly expenses mainly consist of food, such as rabbit pellets and fresh vegetables, which are not very costly.

The main differences lie in size, temperament, and physical traits. Flemish Giants usually grow larger, sometimes as big as a medium dog, and have semi-arched bodies with ears around 8 inches long, while Continental Giants typically weigh 16-20 pounds and grow up to 3 feet long with ears about 25% of their body length. Temperament-wise, Continental Giants are more playful and active but dislike their feet being touched, whereas Flemish Giants are more laid-back, cuddly, and patient.

The average lifespan of a Continental Giant rabbit is around 5 years, while Flemish Giants tend to live slightly longer, typically between 5 to 7 years.
