Pure bred Lionhead Rabbits for sale Nationwide

The Lionhead rabbit, also known as the lion head bunny or lion's mane rabbit, is a charming breed that originated in Belgium in the 1990s. This breed is distinct for its woolly mane surrounding the head, resembling a lion's, with two types of manes: the single mane, which is shorter and less pronounced, and the double mane, which is fuller and requires more grooming. Lionheads are small to medium-sized rabbits, typically weighing between 2.5 to 3.75 lbs. They have a compact body, short dense coat, and a bold head. Temperamentally, Lionhead rabbits are friendly, curious, and playful, making them excellent companions. They thrive on social interaction and benefit from early handling and socialisation. Suitable for indoor living in the UK, these rabbits need daily exercise and a rabbit-proofed space. Grooming, especially for double manes, is crucial to prevent matting and health issues like wool block. Their diet should include high-quality grass hay, pellets, and fresh greens. Overall, the Lionhead rabbit is a delightful pet, but potential owners should be prepared for its grooming needs and social nature.
