      I am not a veteranian but I helped raise baby bunnies from birth . Her mother Daisy had about 10 or twelve. It’s gentle on there stomachs because of the fiber content. But you can always call a vet!! ?

      Alfalfa hay is preferred for the first six months. After that, you could use Timothy hay.

    Just bought a lionhead and she continually lays in her corner litter box. She has a hut but would rather lay in her litter box. I put her hay rack over her litter box to try and train her. Any suggestions? Also what type of things do they play with? She isn’t chewing in her wood toys or salt block. She is about two to three months old, can she have carrots?
    Thank you

      Hello, i am an ex-dwarf lop owner now having a lionhead. I believe it is okay to feed carrots but not too much, there should always be a balance between dry and fresh food.

    I have an awesome Lionhead bunny who is very friendly with me but doesn’t let me pick her up. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make her trust me more and is there a proper technique? I was told to stroke top of head and relax their ears, then cover their eyes with one hand and scoop from under bum/feet with other and cradle almost like a baby supporting head and bum. Is this correct? Any help would be Greatly APPRECIATED.

      I heard Timothy hay is better. Alfalfa Hay is high in protein and can get them fat

      Only Alfalfa Hay until the rabbit is 6 months old. You can find it online and at your local pet store.

      I mainly feed a meadow grass/timothy hay mix. I do use soften alfalfa cubes for the real young babies and nursing mothers; as needed. If I do not have a normal bale on hand.

    I want to breed my male REW lion head and I heard that I charge people to breed with my bunny but I don’t know how much I would charge let alone if that comment is even true. What’s the average price? Or is it even true?

      Speaking from personal experience, yes. My rabbit’s cage has a nice deep kitty litter box at one end, and the bunny used it right off. There are still some turds on the cage bottom, but she pees in the litter box and mostly poos in there too. I have the litter box at one end, and her food&drink plus shelter at the other. It has worked well so far.

    I have a lion head that my fiancé was conned into taking-by. A friend who moved and didn’t want to or could take the bunny with them— she’s sweet friendly and potty trained to a litter box– she was very sociable until we put in hard wood floors, she doesn’t like coming out to play on those… point I need to find a safe place to take the bunny, it isn’t living. A rounded life here- I live in at louis Missouri, any suggestions would be appreciated

      We put rugs and towels down for the bunny to walk on over our hardwood floors. We also have a pen outside for it to play in daily.

    I have to beautiful lionshead kits I need to sale they are 9 wks old, one black buck and a grey doe, they are doublecrowned, most people around here don’t know of the breed, they are pedigree. I purchased the sire for my granddaughter to show for 4-h, of course I purchased a doe for the other granddaughter and knowing little about rabbits I have kits.

    I live in Texas and it’s now the summer months. I have a lionhead bunny. She’s about 5 months old, going on 6 months. I let my rabbit run around outside a lot. She always looks like she is panting way more than she needs to. Even in the cooler months when I had her she panted the same way. I am worried she will have a heat stroke due to how hot it already is and how hot it could get. What’s the best way to keep her cool this summer. Thanks.
