Lionhead Rabbit Info

Thursday, March 5th, 2009

Welcome to our Lionhead Rabbit Information site. We hope to provide you with information and inspiration to make one of these lovely creatures a part of your family. If you’re tired of dogs barking and cats causing a ruckus, a nice quiet lionhead rabbit, called so because of the unique mane it grows that resembles the mane of a lion, may be just the pet you’re looking for.

Although there is much information available on the internet about rabbits and even about lionhead rabbits, we hope to gather the essential information you need all in one place.

lionhead rabbits are relatively new on the scene, not yet recognized by the ARBA (American Rabbit Breeders Association). They come in a veritable rainbow of colors and can exhibit no mane, a single mane or a double mane. Responsible breeders are working on breeding lionheads to produce a limited and very specific range of colors. In fact, recognition by the ARBA is being sought for just one color at this time.

lionhead rabbits are a small breed, weighing in at around 3 pounds or so. Since they are small, they require just a normal size rabbit cage and their food consumption is relatively small. Like most rabbits, lionheads can be raised on a diet of 16% protein rabbit pellets and a good quality timothy hay. Vegetable treats should be limited to once or twice a week and shouldn’t be fed to rabbits at all until they are at least 6 months old. If you just can’t resist giving them treats, buy a package of rabbit chews at your local pet store.

Lionhead rabbits, like all of the long hair breeds should be brushed regularly. You can do this weekly, or even less frequently but the more you do it, the more both you and your rabbit will enjoy it. Not only is it enjoyable for your rabbit and therapeutic for you, but it will diminish the possibility of digestive problems due to hairballs (wool block). Brushing should be done with a brush designed for rabbits or cats and please remember to be careful because a rabbit’s skin is sensitive. We have found that lionheads manes do not tend to mat very easily so they are much easier to care for than angora rabbits.

Lionhead rabbits can live for 6 to 10 years, so keep that in mind when you consider acquiring a pet. It will give you years of enjoyment and companionship.

Rabbit care – How to groom your rabbit in 10 minutes

Sunday, December 11th, 2011

Rabbit care A daily groom for your rabbit! although rabbits are fastidiously clean creatures, they will sometimes need a little extra help with their grooming, especially during a moult. Apart from stimulating blood circulation and removing trapped hairs, this is a great way for bunny and owner to bond and many bunnies will reciprocate by grooming their owners in return. Daily grooming is required for long haired breeds such as the Angora. Soft-bristled and slicker brushes are recommended and grooming should start at the head and progress down the body. Check for wounds or sores under matted fur as they can often be hidden away. Grooming also helps reduce the amount of hair that your bun ingests as it cleans itself. Problems can arise with Hair-balls, where the hair inside the rabbit clumps together and is very difficult to move. For more information on grooming and other aspects of Rabbit care and husbandry, please visit the rabbit care library at Happy Hoppers forum.

How do I take care of a rabbit + BQS?

Sunday, November 20th, 2011

Hey Everyone :]

I’ll be getting a rabbit soon, probably an Assorted Dwarf, from the petstore, or a lionhead rabbit. The only problem is that I don’t know how to take care of them. I’ll take any information you can give me, I know NOTHING.

I need to know what supplies I’ll need, how to care for them, diseases and ilnesses, what do feed them and how much, how to handel them, how to litter train them, links to cages, male vs. female, life spans, what to look for in the rabbit ETC… You don’t need to tell me all of that in your answer, but please make it as informative and detailed as you can :]

Oh, and please don’t tell me to go to an Animal Sheltar. It’s just not an option, here. Sorry. Any ways, if I’m not clear about something, just tell me and I’ll put it in added details. Thanks!
~*~ Megan ~*~
Ooh – one more thing, can I use Newspaper Clippings for "litter" (not bedding, just in the box) or no?

You must be hopping mad—research everything you need to know about Rabbits from an authoritative source –library e.t.c. and never buy one from a pet store.
