Another question from a newbie

:?

I thought I was doing OK with my two rescue bunnies, but after a conversation with a colleague today - I'm not sure!

The rabbits I rescued were purported to be lionheads, and the vet nurse agreed when I took them for a check up.....however, while chatting today, a colleague said that lionheads have small ears :?

Flopsy and Tospy have big ears - Flopsy actually has one ear that "lops"

So, are they lionheads, or something else? (sorry about the picture, I'm still learning!)

My bun Gloria is half-lionhead and she has floppy ears, one of which pops up when she is listening! Maybe they are not full lionhead.

Does it matter?? They look gorgeous

I have no idea what all mine are - they're bunnies and I love them! x

Lionheads are a quite need breed so there are quite a few different 'types'. There is also the lionhead lop. I would say your two are possibly lionhead crosses - but those tufts are definately lionhead

they are lonhead crosses, the one with a loped ear could be crossed with a lop:? they are beautiful

well even if you dont know their exact heritage - it doesn't mean you're 'not doing well' with them!!!

they are beautiful bunsters, you must be very proud

they r beautiful...

Lionheads do vary a lot, some are really fluffy and others not quite so. But about the ears, those ears look fairly small to me, well definately compared my two rexes, they have huge ears. :lol:

They're very pretty bunnies and definately have lionhead in them if they're not purebred. Doesn't really matter what breed they are unless you plan to show or breed I guess.

Thank you for all your lovely comments

No, it doesn't matter what type they are - they are gorgeous .

I have assumed that they were originally bought from PaH (our local PaH opened 12 months ago with loads of *offers*, and these bunnies are just the right age :roll so I guess they could be any combination of pedigree's really, couldn't they? They are never going to be suitable for showing, and I certainly wouldn't breed :?

I'm slowly getting back into the swing of bunny-care; all my colleagues have been asked to keep their newspapers and any cardboard tubes and I intercept any cardboard boxes I find, too :lol:
