Lionhead Rabbit Thread

[reereechickens]

What is the temperament of the Lionheads? Do they nip, bite, love or hate to be held. My Holland Lop was a nipper and biter, I got her from TSC and tried everything to stop the biting, nothing worked.

hello! i do not have rabbits as of yet. but i am currently emailing back and forth with someone not too far (as in less than 3 hour+ drive) from me who is selling 2 lionheads and a hutch. might be getting them. fingers crossed!!!
hoping to get into meat rabbits as well. but this is what is coming up so these may be my intro to buns.
if i do get them though the buck is harlequin and the doe is broken black. the person told me. i have no clue on colors and names yet.

Lionheads are one of the more docile of the breeds. My bucks tend to be more affectionate. I use them as therapy rabbits with my clients & they are a hit. I've been around Mini Lops & Mini Rex and the Lionheads have a calmer, more social & affectionate temperaments in my experience. The does do get more moody when pregnant & just after kindling.

Wow, instant herd. If possible post pics. We love pics.

I admit it. I have lionhead fever. I brought home 2 more lionheads. My DH has been supportive so far, probably because I haven't said no to he & our son adding to the gun collection, a much more expensive hobby.

Miracle, a seal buck. He loves to play, but is easily startled. He got his name because he was the only kit in his litter that his inexperienced mom didn't eat a leg or foot off of when she was cleaning them.

Ebbuny, black otter doe VM. One eye is half blue half brown.

Now I have unrelated BEW carriers.
