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.

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!

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

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.

Freeze water bottles to keep them cold

Keep them in the shade no matter what!

Fans and misters work well.

Good luck!
