Description
Lionhead rabbits are intelligent, good-natured, energetic, and very social. They thrive in the company of other rabbits, so having more than one bunny is ideal to satisfy their social needs. Lionheads also typically form close bonds with their people and gladly accept as much attention as they can get! They make great pets and are even good with young children who understand gentle and calm handling.
With their characteristic mane, Lionhead bunnies require more grooming than other short-haired rabbit breeds to keep them healthy. Additionally, plenty of hay and chew toys are necessary for all rabbits because they are prone to health complications from overgrown teeth.
Lionheads are smaller rabbits, but they still need plenty of space to release energy and exercise. The cage should be a minimum of 18 x 24 inches and tall, enough for the Lionhead to stand upright. Add more space if multiple rabbits are housed together. Cages with a solid floor are preferred over wire floors to prevent irritation or injury to the bottom of the rabbit's feet.
