(more) Emma<3 The Lionhead Lop, like the Lionhead Rabbit, is a very friendly little critter. They enjoy people and are sweet and easy to handle!Lionhead Lop Rabbit Contents The Lionhead Rabbit is the newest breed of rabbit, first imported into the United States in 1999. Along with the introduction of this adorable little rabbit with its erect ears, the cute little Lionhead Lop was developed!
A Lionhead Lop is a hybrid rabbit developed by crossing a Lionhead Rabbit with a Holland Lop. Lionheads crossed with the Mini-Rex are referred to as Velvet Lionheads. Their are many hybrids of the Lionhead and they are all very cute, very unique, and will make excellent pets! The outstanding characteristic of the Lionhead Lop and the Lionhead Rabbit is that they have a 'mane'. These small rabbits are much easier to care for than longhaired or wooly rabbits like the Angoras, because their mane only needs to be combed out every couple of days. The mane on the Lionhead Lop does tend to mat a bit more than on the erect eared Lionhead Rabbit. One thing to keep in mind when getting a young Lionhead is that this is a very new breed, and you won't know what your pet will look like until it grows up! There is no absolute certainty that it will keep its mane. The mane may molt and disappear for good or it may grow back even fuller than it was before.

Hey I have an albino lionhead rabbit named bunny:) she used 2 be super mean and darted around her cage in circles and would swat me with her paws and growl and bite me...so we got her fixed and now she is the sweetest thing ever! She even "talks" by moving her mouth when you talk 2 her. I absolutely luv everything about her. She is sort of crooked; one ear is slightly bent and the other straight up but those are her best qualities. Bunny licks me a lot and nuzzles me..2 all rabbit luvers; lionhead's are the best bunnies ever! Just ask Bunny:D

I got a lionhead rabbit about three months back and I have loved him ever since! He has to live outside (and we live in Iowa) so I got him a lamp and a big warm tarp. My dog loves him too!

In my experience as an person who does animal rescue.. specifically rabbits.. Lionsheads have small ears that stand stait up. The hair is short except around the face and the trim of the body. The picture that is snow looks like a fuzzy lot to me and not a lion head.

I have two four month old lionhead rabbits, they have excessive amounts of fur around their hind quarters which I don't want to cut away in case I accidentally cut their flesh, my problem is that I am very anxious about this flystrike that can affect rabbits and I want to apply the very expensive preventative rearguard treatment but I cannot locate their bottoms because of the fur. Should I go to the vets and pay them to apply it?

We now have a new addition to the family and it is our lion head rabbit. He is so cute and he just learned how to give kisses- yes real kisses. He is very unique with his blue eyes and his beautiful white fur. We are looking for some suggestions on finding a name, if you have any ideas please e-mail me at dpottsy77@yahoo.com. We will be waiting for your suggestions! Donna

I recently bought two baby lion head bunnies. They are so cute and I love them to death. But I can't seem to tame them both. They are very skittish bunnies. Is there any help anyone could give me, to help me tame them?
