Lionhead rabbits moulting?

Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

Hi i am a new pet owner so i am wondering if someone can help me. I have 2 male lionhead rabbits they are 10 weeks old but i have found some of their fur in the rabbit hutch I was wondering is it just them moulting their winter coats because summer is nearly here??

First off, you will want to seperate those bucks when they get about 3 months of age. Bucks are very territorial, especially after they reach sexual maturity. (3-4 months)

The loss of fur could be from a moult or it could be from rough play. Because lionheads have so much fur, you will want to be sure to brush them during this time, provide unlimited amounts of timothy hay to get the fur moving through the digestive tract, and you can offer a tiny piece of pineapple to get the digestive enzymes moving about.

Should you notice your rabbit acting lethargic or different, you will want to take them to the vet. Because fur is ingested during their grooming periods, fur can become impacted.

i want to learn how to train him i got him a harnish…..and im trying to get him use to the vest part 1st then put the leash on him but he is trying to bite it off………………..please tell me what i should do step to step please let me know what i should do…..
my bunny he seems mad at me lol cuz i have him in a harness…………so how long a day should i make him wear it…

rabbits dont usually like harnesses. mainly ferretss do.
why not let him hop around in a fenced in area?
my rabbit would just sit there, but we trianed him to stay in the yard and he was like a dog.

Anyone know of any local Lionhead Rabbits?

Sunday, May 24th, 2009

I can't seem to find any local lionhead rabbits around and i'm desperate for one because as of right now im very lonely and would love a pet such as a rabbit that's cute, fluffy, and playful. However i cant seem to find any in the pet stores or on craigslist. (i did find a few but they're mostly female and older) i was looking for a male between 1year and less, can anyone help? give me advice as to where i should look?

check the local animal adoption agencies in your area, they may have one or may be able to advise you a safe breeder in your area.

Does any1 hav a french lop rabbit or a lion head rabbit—- wat are they like? are they nice?

Thursday, May 21st, 2009

do they like being held? is there any success stories of them being litter box trained and fully roaming around the house? which one is nicer?

I've heard both breeds make great pets, but Lionheads require a lot of grooming. Both breeds are very friendly and yes, all rabbits can be litter trained if you have the time and patience.

Rabbit info please help?

Tuesday, May 19th, 2009

I'm getting a 6month old female lionhead rabbit and i wanted to know does anyone know some stuff about them? Or have any advice to make them happier and live longer. I have done some research about them i just want to know as much as possible

Lionheads were only recently approved in the American Rabbit Breeders Association so they're not a very popular breed just yet.

As with any rabbit, handling them is in the best way to make them 'happier' and more social. Treats and hay amounts should be monitored. They survive better in heated areas, such as a garage or basement rather than outdoors.

Good Luck!

My kids want a pet rabbit (lion head).What other pet could I get to stay in the hutch as company for it?

Saturday, May 16th, 2009

Hutch is big enough for two rabbits and I feel one will do but my two kids want two pets.

You should only put another rabbit in with it. Lots of people put guinea pigs in with their rabbits but this isn't a good idea for lots of different reasons.
I don't think you can put two male rabbits together either. Its best to have 2 females or a neutered male and female.
