I agree with littleblue, you cant brush them enough. And be warned, they moult like mad!

I have 4 staying here just now and all we have done is brush brush brush as you can't leave them long when they are moulting! They have a lovely temprement though and are friendly, out going and love to binky around. I have a constant hairy teeshirts etc.
Nice rabbits though

Thank you! She was a mess when we first got her, but with a lot of love and a flippin good brush you can do wonders!!!!!

No, she used to breed french lops and dwarf/mini lops:). Lovely rabbit by the way misschick!

Thanks Helen!!!!

I have two lion head rabbits a male and female, both neutered, they are nice rabbits, I brush them with a slicker brush when they are moulting otherwise I don't think that they need any more care than any other rabbit really.

We have a gorgeous little white lionhead called Monty, he hardly seems to moult at all so have been very lucky really, whereas Beryl and Daisy 2 that were boarding here the other week looked like they left a crime scene imprint of themselves wherever they laid

Thanks everyone.

I got them yesterday and she really calm compared to the rex rabbit we got. i brushed her today and my good by the time i was done i was covered in her fur. how offen do you brush yours a day ? is once a day enough or does it need too be more. i do what to keep her looking nice she is the same colour of a lion, light brown and a little white.

I just brush Hartley once a day, occasionally I will brush her more, like if its been a bit windy when she has been in her run. I dont know whether it should be more, but once seems to be enough. Her fur is not tangled or anything, although we do still get little piles of fur in the hutch every morning from her moulting!

I want to get my bunnies spayed and neutered, at what age can this be and also how much will it be? can anyonetell me.

Sexual maturity in a rabbit is usually around 16 weeks, a males testicles generally dont drop until around 3 months but can vary from breed to breed, with Giant breeds dropping later. Best bet is to ask your vet when the best time is for your particular breed of rabbit. Our vet charges £34.95 for neutering or speying and there is no surcharge for larger breeds.
