Lionhead Rabbits

Good
The Ox-Rabbit combination is a good matching as both value the security and the peace in the realtionship. There is a certain amount of predictability in the relationship which is appreciated and accepted by both partners. Both avoid emotional confrontations. So if there is a difference of opinion, the stubborn Ox may silently hoild on to its point leaving the Rabbit feeling very miserable.

Ox Personality
The Ox is a very stable and reliable animal. Just like its animal counterpart that goes day after day helping the farmer to plough the field without a complaint, Ox people are very hardworking, stick at a task longer than anyone else and keep going. They are very meticulous and systematic and prefer to stick with the known rather than the unknowns. Ox people also divide the world into 2 categories – the good and the bad and they stick with their decisions without any regrets.

The Ox can be even-tempered for most part but if you have managed to anger the Ox then start running immediately because they can be very impulsive when they get angry. The Ox people are very possessive and protective in nature especially when it comes to family. They can very stubborn and conservative, but they are also very patient and caring which makes them a very good friend to have.

In love the Ox people usually choose a partner who will be quick to put a protective arm around them in times of need and their love for someone usually lasts a lifetime.

Rabbit Personality
Rabbits are private individuals, a bit introverted and withdrawn. People born into this sign would rather work behind the scenes instead of being the center of attention in any situation. For this reason Rabbits are misunderstood to be loners but they are not. In fact, they enjoy socializing more than anyone. Rabbits however do not like to be in very competitive environments. They like peace and harmony and serving people for good causes. Rabbits would be very good diplomats.

Rabbits are apt to be sensitive to ailments and allergies. Stress or conflict will affect the Rabbit’s health, one of the reasons why Rabbit personalities prefer to exercise to be stress-free. Rabbits are extremely organized people and prefer their homes and offices to be clutter-free.

Rabbits make good actors, sports people, musicians, teachers, administrative personnels, PR agents and fashion designers.

Rabbits, like their animal counterpart, are quite calm people who do not exhibit aggressive behavior and will avoid confrontation at all costs. When angry about something, a Rabbit will approach it calmly and considerately, hardly ever raising the voice or becoming visibly annoyed.

Athena only had one little baby bunny. It’s adorable though! LOVES to be held and will chatter its mouth when pet between the ears (a bunny’s way of saying “I’m in heaven”). SO cute. www.aftertherainrabbitry.com

Im thinking about breeding my rabbits again. Usually i keep them apart when shes pregnant but is it ok if the my buck is with my doe for about 25 days? – As he seems a bit lonely
Oh and also how long are you meant to wait before you can breed the rabbits again? – the last litter LEFT on 25thFebuary and im thinking of breeding them on the 20th of march. Also is it ok to breed brother and sister? DONT WORRY IM NOT GOING TO …but i was wondering….i know its horrible but they do it in the wild? Anyway back to more questions…If I was going to breed my doe with a buck is it ok to keep another buck with her while shes pregnant?
Thanks so so much x all ans appreciated x

additional info:
My rabbits are lionhead.
My buck and doe im thinking of breeding are 1yr old.
My doe has had 2 litters before

Hi there,

The short answer personally is NO, it’s not a good idea to keep a buck with your doe whilst she’s pregnant. For one the buck being in the cage with her is going to cause her unwanted attention and stress with him pestering her, not something you want in a pregnant animal! Two after about a week to 14 days her hormones will start to kick in and this will then lead to aggression (hence why many pregnant does start to get grumpy and growl at their owners) and she will not be very tolerant of another rabbit in the cage as her to say the least! The short of it is your female needs peace and quiet throughout pregnancy and the first few weeks after the birth for the best success and to achieve that she needs to be kept alone!

As far as breeding brother to sister together – this is another extremely big NO! Breeding two siblings together creates a 100% gene share, which can cause disasterous health problems to the resulting the young. To explain if you were to say breed a doe to her son, although she is related to the son she is only partly related, the father (unrelated buck) is adding the other part of the genetics into their gene pool so although they’re related they’re not 100% related (as a brother and sister would be having the same mother and father). And whilst inbreeding on it’s own doesn’t neccessarily cause problems what can happen if you breed related animals is that it increases the chances of otherwise undetected hereditary problems of appearing in the resulting babies – and imagine when it’s brother and sister you are messing around in a very small gene pool thus increasing the chances of hereditary health problems appearing in resulting young. The again short answer is this shouldn’t be attempted!!!
In my own personal opinion if your doe is 1 year old and has already had three litters I wouldn’t be breeding from her again. I breed my does about 3 times maximum in their lifetimes, leaving about three months inbetween litters. The actual time apart that you have above (if the last litter left on the 25th Feb at 8 weeks old) is about right with what I would go with, but i’d be concerned about her having three litters and being one year – that’s quite a few for a relatively young doe. Don’t burn her out, she’s not a breeding machine!

Their first day out of the nest box!

So I know somebody that is a rabbit breeder and has lionheads, mini rex, dutch and I think holland lops too (they all live outside too). The other night a lionhead doe had 8 babys and they are chestnut colors because both parents are. But my question is since they are so little and dont have any hair yet really how will I able to know if the baby I buy is a single or double mane? If I get a double mane would I be able to cut her hair when she is older? I have a outside hutch that houses 2 rabbits (not together) and they have there own box and can come out on the wire and see outside and stuff. But can I have some information on lion heads? I havent owned that breed before and how much do they weigh full grown? I live on a farm and got other animals, thanks!
Kate M, I have another rabbit and she is 6-7 years old and she has lived in the hutch since she was weaned. Nothing can get to the hutch and its warm and not in the sun, I’ve owned rabbits before, and we also made the hutch. We cant have any other animal in the house cause of our dog, people dont understand and think rabbits outa be in the house but other animals live outside too. Rabbits can live outside some rabbits prefer to live outside.

There is no guarantee that a lion head will be single or double maned until after the first moult. A double maned lion head can lose the second mane when they moult. A single maned can also lose the mane, but they will not grow the second mane.

Unless the fur mattes easily, there is no reason to cut it. Some do require more grooming than others, so you do need to be prepared to brush your rabbit on a regular basis. If you are planing on just cutting the fur, don’t get one.

Due to inconsistent breeding, lion heads can range in weight from 3 pounds to 6 pounds. The current working standard has a max weight of about 3.5 pounds.

I would advise not keeping them outside. Most hutches are too small for 1 small rabbit to live full time. While there are runs you are attach, a hutch is no the safest housing. A small shed with windows and ventilation along with a good sized run would offer much more space than a hutch. You can also add levels in a shed. Any outdoor housing need to protect from the weather and predators. A cat, dog or other predator doesn’t even have to be able to get the rabbit for the rabbit to get scared enough to have a heart attack. It also need to protect the rabbit from heat, cold, snow, rain, direct sun and wind.
It would be much better to keep the rabbit inside. You can interact with them more and they are safe from the elements and predators. It is also easier to know of they are sick if you spend more time with them. An indoor rabbit can live several years longer than an outdoor rabbit when given the proper care.

it was small ^_^
