Lionhead Rabbits

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.

Breeding meat rabbits california / flemish giant / and new zealand crosses

admin — Sun, 20 May 2012 01:36:02 +0000

A quick vid of Henry ( white Buck ) and Stew ( grey Doe ) on a romantic date. Because I am learning by doing on my microfarm I eventually want to get into larger meat animals like sheep and goats but I have no experience. I figured starting small with chickens and rabbits I could learn as I go without a huge commitment. I will be letting the kids sell as many of these as they can and we will consume the rest. As much as I don’t enjoy the day they go in the freezer, I try to look at it like cleaning a fresh fish that I caught. I really want to start eating better and become a little more self sufficient, plus rabbit is delicious.

Should i get a male or female rabbit?

admin — Wed, 16 May 2012 15:33:52 +0000

The new bunny would (hopefully) be friends with my 4ish month old male lionhead ( i think). I am 14 years old and i pay for all my rabbit stuff myself. Also, should i get a baby or adult? The reason im not sure about my bunnies info is because hes a rescue…

it doesn’t matter if females are raised together or not, they still fight, i had two rabbits that were sisters and they ended up being seperated becuase one of them wanted to fight with the other. you are best getting a girl to go with your boy and having the boy neutured and the girl spayed

Do lion head rabbits get along with other rabbits?

admin — Wed, 16 May 2012 15:33:42 +0000

yes they do.they are just like any other breed.male get along way better with girls but if they are fixed then its just a matter of u letting them get used to the other rabbit

are lionhead rabbits a good breed of rabbits?

admin — Wed, 16 May 2012 15:33:17 +0000

Considering that I should get one, is a lionhead rabbit a good breed of rabbit? Does it like to be around people and will it be a good pet for the family?

It honestly depends on the background of the individual rabbit, how it’s raised and how you handle it, as well as how much space it’s provided with (and they need a LOT of space). I’ve met fear aggressive Lionheads, and friendly Lionheads. Breed traits don’t really work.

Remember Lionheads with large amounts of fur around their head (which increases as they age) need regular brushing to avoid it becoming matted, and a lot of rabbits hate being brushed if they haven’t been introduced to it early enough!

They otherwise require the same amount of care as any other breed of rabbit.
