Information about Lionhead Rabbits
Help about weaning rabbits!?
Sunday, August 29th, 2010We had a litter of 4 lionhead rabbits 9 weeks ago. We took away the boys a week ago but still had the doe living with the mom. She was still nursing her so we are starting to wean her. We put her in her own cage about 7 hours ago. I’m wondering if she is eating I saw her eat hay and drink a little but Im not sure. im kinda worried. Should we just wait a little to see what happens? please tell me your advice.
PLEASE NO RUDE COMMENTS
Thanks and if you need any more info just ask!
Good job on taking the boys out! Kudos! Normally you wean the mom off slowly so she doesn’t experience discomfort lactation wise. So take out one of the girls and then a few days later you should be able to take out the other one. Try not to worry too much about food. If she ate a little hay and drank some water she knows how to eat and digest the food. She just has to get used to not having mama’s milk around. 
Hope this helps!
Does Anyone Know About Calcium Deficiency In Rabbits?
Monday, August 23rd, 2010I took my cross lionhead rabbit to the vets 6 weeks ago, due to him not eating or drinking, and becoming very lifeless, I was told he had spurs on his teeth, and had calcium deficiency.
Now, weeks later he has become quiet, and not very active.
I have checked his teeth, and they are fine since he had them done, I have also checked his rear end incase of fly strike……..that is fine.
He is moulting, and I am wondering if this could be making him a little under the weather, or could it be something to do with this calcium deficiency, which I know nothing about, or if it needs treating.
I would be grateful if anyone has any knowledge or information about this, and is able to pass it on.
Fingers crossed Angela
I could be "wool-block" as molting rabbits can get this,its like cats can but rabbits CAN’T sick up (due to the joining of the stomach openings) So it remains stuck inside them. The symptoms are;
The rabbit is generally lethargic,sometimes cold,not wanting to move and often/normally the rabbit won’t eat or drink or only in small amounts. About a month ago my rabbit who was molting had this,he had all the symptoms above,i gave him basically tons of raspberry leaves/willow leaves and Diced up pineapple(available from health food stores/or some supermarkets or you can use juice pour it on some veg,if the rabbit doesn’t drink.) As fiber is very important in this illness so give him as much green leaves or carrots as possible,Pineapple has an active substance that relieves the normally clears minor cases of wool block. You might of brushed your bunny allot(as i did) by sometimes it still happens. If he doesn’t eat any foods or drink any water,in 2 day maximum then contact the vet as soon as you can as wool-block can kill,as the rabbit intestines should ALWAYS be kept moving. One of my bucks had wool-block for not quite a couple of days,i was close to calling the vets,but he cleared it himself with the aid of the food i fed him. In serious cases of wool-block an operation is needed to save the rabbit,this costs loads of money,also vitamin b12 should be given in severe cases. Prevention is better than a cure,so keep a sharp eye on his wealth-fair as if after a couple of days if there are no good signs,please phone your vet straight away. If he has still been eating but is quite it could be an early sign of wool block so treat as minor case of it as stated above. Or in other cases he could just be depressed!
Hope this helps & he gets better soon! =) xxx
My lion Head rabbits are dying?
Tuesday, August 17th, 2010my rabbits are normal sized mini lion head and are perfect weight but they die and are soo skinny i feed them good in one month 4 rabbits had died of this please help im down to 2
they were completely healthy rabbits and are all in wired cages outside the one who started it had no contact with the others then one died of a wasp sting + that and now my fist rabbit died along with another one ,they showed no signs of sickness yet when i saw them their back legs were covered in poop and pee or nasty brown liquid. The ones living have had the cages cleaned bleached and sprayed
Please get them checked by the vet! I am assuming you have your rabbits all vaccinated against myximatosis and viral haemorrhagic diarrhoea. I’m also assuming that you panacur them every 4-6 months to prevent worms.
How did they behave before they died? Did they just suddenly die? Did they have upset stomachs? Did a fox get into the garden and scare them? Have they seen a vet recently?
You MUST arrange for a post mortem of any other bunnies that die, so that you can hopefully prevent if from happening again. It may be contagious, and spread to all of your rabbits, but be contained if you catch it soon enough.
I’m so sorry that your buns are sick, they don’t so muh live, more perch on the edge of life. Bunnies are so fragile. It’s clear that you love them very much, please give them noserubs from me.
Can you shave lionhead rabbits?
Tuesday, August 17th, 2010Hi, in march we got 2 baby lionhead bunnies and we keep them in a hutch outside in the backyard. Since its summer its hot outside and i think that we should take them to be profesionaly shaved. My mom said okay if it helps them, but thik they should keep their long hair because they need it? Well she said we can get them shaved just for the summer if its okay for their health. So if we shaved them, just in the summer would it hurt them in anyway? They have very very long hair and it gets matted sometimes too, which make them even hotter. Thanks.
You should not shave the rabbit, unless it is for medical reasons, you should just make provisions to keep your rabbit cold.
Freeze water bottles to keep them cold
Keep them in the shade no matter what!
Fans and misters work well.
Good luck!
