Lionhead Rabbit Info

admin — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 05:26:59 +0000

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.

Are Lionhead rabbits less tame than other rabbits?

admin — Sat, 24 Dec 2011 00:34:12 +0000

I have seen a lot of lionhead rabbits up for adoption… especially Craigslist.com. For a new breed, there sure are a lot of people giving up this cute pet. Talked to a friend, and she said she heard they are very mean and nip/bite a lot more than other breeds.

So… lionhead rabbit owners… former owners… family/friends of such owners… what are your experiences?

Hi…I’ve been raising and showing rabbits for 10 years. As the person before me said, smaller rabbits do sometimes tend to be a bit more skittish, but really it all boils down to the individual rabbit’s personality and how much handling and attention it recieves. I’ve not personally owned any Lionheads but I know some Lionhead breeders and they have some that range from aggressive to very sweet just like with any breed. But even when you get a rabbit and it seems aggressive, if you are patient and consistent with it it should calm down. Hope this helps and please feel free to contact me with any more questions you may have.

How much should I sell my two dwarf lionhead rabbits for?

admin — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 02:43:17 +0000

I have two black lion head rabbits that I want to sell because I don’t have the time anymore to care properly for them. So I was wondering how much they would cost? They are both Male haven’t been neutered so they could used for breeding? And both black? what would you price them as?

take them to a rabbit sanctuary/rescue where they will definitely go to good homes.
dont look for money, look for the wellbeing of these rabbits who are relying on you to do just that.

Eddy the Lionhead mix Bunny (Happy Birthday Eddy)

admin — Mon, 26 Sep 2011 18:18:10 +0000

I adopted Eddy Domino Cullen in 2009 from the SPCA. He was dumped at the shelter after a little girl (his owner) fractured his leg and got him sick. Please do not buy live animals as toys for children or Easter presents. Eddy was very lucky that he recovered from his injuries and was adopted. Other rabbits are not so lucky. They are dumped in the park and left to fend for themselves. Domesticated rabbits cannot survive in the wild. They get run over by cars and attacked by other animals (I’ve witnessed this!). Please do the right thing. Do not buy bunnies as “toys” or “presents” . Rabbits are a 10-12 years commitment. They are very fragile and not suitable pets for children. If for some reason you can no longer keep your rabbit please bring it to an animal shelter.

Eddy has the most amazing personality. He is very loving and friendly. I’m so lucky to have him in my life. Love you little buddy! Team Edward!

Walking Lionhead rabbit kit on leash.3GP

admin — Fri, 16 Sep 2011 07:01:47 +0000

This is Spirit on about her 3rd or 4th day on leash. She did really great for being only about 7 weeks old. At this time of video (9/2/11), I have 4 unspoken for Lionhead kits. They can all be viewed at http://www.neblionheadrabbits.webs.com/
I spend countless hours to make these babies as cool as possible. I only own 2 rabbits (both Lionheads) that are in total love and create some of the neatest Lionhead kits a person could know. Many people don’t realize how awesome rabbits really are because so many of the ones people buy have been bred by hoarder/millers who stack their rabbits in cages and ignore them (except at feeding). Those are the rabbits that pee all over their cages. I encourage you to do your research on rabbit breeders. Their statements about how many “holes” they own, actually means how many cramped cages their rabbits must live in! The next time you consider buying a rabbit, PLEASE ask the seller if the rabbit you’re buying or it’s parents has ever even been in a house. Possibly the seller will want to tell you anything you want to hear, but more than likely it was born outside or in an ammonia filled barn!
If you truely want a rabbit that is worth having as a companion pet, then you should do your homework and not impulse buy just because it’s Easter. I speak from the heart when I say rabbits are worth more than snake food or meat! Please have a heart too and ask questions before buying the cutest rabbit you see (because a lot of times the cutest rabbit is the one from the miller trying to get specific colors and not necessarily the nicest). Also check with your local humane society for one already spayed or neutered. Too many rabbits are put to sleep every year for no reason, except that some people try to make a living at breeding animals. If you can find a hobby breeder who cares more about the quality of the animals rather than the quantity, you are headed in the right direction. They shouldn’t have much of a “herd”.
Ultimately, it would be perfect if a single litter of pet rabbits could really sell at a price that would feed a household family of 5 for 6 months, so family wouldn’t want to own more than 2 rabbits. Of course millers and hoarders would try to jump all over and take advantage of that idea, but that is where it is up to us to know the difference and not fall into their greed.
Hope this can resonate and make sense. Maybe one day we’ll all get it.

what breeds of rabbits make a lionhead rabbit?

admin — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 12:56:19 +0000

i have a lion head and i need to know what two breeds make a lionhea helpp

Lionheads are a breed of their own. It’s unknown for sure how they came about, though. Some believe it’s from mixing a Swiss Fox and Belgian dwarf. Some think it’s from the Jersey Wooly, but this is unlikely.
