The newer girl is maybe a lion lop? They are both lovely.

Oh I don't know, I'm rubbish at names that go together... cookie and cupcake? Apple and crumble? Honey and bee? Sorry I haven't seen your other thread so not sure on their history.
The new girl looks like a lionhead cross though, not a full lionhead as no mane, as her ears are starting to lop probably mixed breed with some lop in her too.
Also, just a heads up as you are new to rabbits, make sure they don't eat any of those flowers, as daffodils are poisonous and a lot of other garden flowers are as well. It is not a good idea to let them free-range in the garden, a secure run is best so that they can't escape and can't eat anything they shouldn't. And when you go to the vet to get their vaccinations done, be sure to get them to check their teeth - your lionhead cross has a squashed face so is more likely to get dental problems.

I'm speechless ...
Please do a bit of research on the best way to house and care for your rabbits.

This, and how to bond two girls (when they are both neutered and vaccinated).
You will need to spay both as soon as they are old enough to have any chance of a relationship remaining cordial.

L space hopper can u refrain from bullying me. Pets at home sell bunnies in pairs. Surely having worked there for 4 years you are aware of this......so u tell me why the hell my husband can't purchase another rabbit?? Are you some mini Hitler or something? Now please go away and don't comment on my posts. You are hypocritical and not a nice person. If you continue i shall report you

This is what p@h said to house the rabbit in....this is totally unsuitable so before you dare patronise me please look at the ethics of your employer

I have free range indoor buns, I have one of these cages, I've taken the door off it so it's basically now a litter tray/occasional bed! P@h told me my girls would be fine shut in this :shock:

Hi Aj
I believe Lspacehopper no longer works for PAH.
PAH might advocate selling bunnies in pairs but 2 females often do not get along and will need spaying to have any chance of a happy relationship, the best pairing is between a male and a female but if PAH encouraged this and just told people to neuter/spay them, I expect they would find many people don't/don't do it in time, or mess up the bonding process and then there would be even more unwanted bunnies in the world.
When I worked there although it was some years ago they did not encourage male and female pairings.
Regarding accommodation, I actually think everyone is singing from the same hymn sheet here and to be honest I couldn't really tell much from your setup on your other post, but you will find the RWAF website very useful: http://www.rabbitwelfare.co.uk/ which goes into more detail about bunny accommodation requirements.
I had an indoor cage for my 2 buns when they were indoors but it was used for their base only so they have their uses but not suitable to spend all their time in there.

My local p@h won't sell a male and female at the same time. You have to get one neutered before you can buy the other
