Thanks guys! And yeah it is not very fun to keep her well groomed, LOL. She at least doesn’t mind being brushed, it’s the process of being picked up, carried to the couch, sat on my lap, and having to sit still while I groom she doesn’t like. I didn’t realize Lionheads were THIS furry! Her hair is crazy thick.

Awes! What a little fluff muffin!
She is adorable, I can see how she was irresistible. <3
How has the bonding with Zeus been going? I’ve been away for awhile and need to catch up.

No actual attempts at bonding, right now they have seperate cages in seperate rooms, but can see each other 24/7 (Zeus in living room, Hera in kitchen, no door seperates the rooms).  Seperate out of cage time, but each bun gets free roam of the entire apartment when loose, so they tend to like visiting each other.  They like to lay with each other between the bars, Zeus has attempted grooming her once through the bars, but there’s still an occasional growl/nip.  So I’d say they coexist pretty happily, but I’d still be very wary to let them loose together.

Are you sure she doesn’t have some Wooly in her? She is FLUFFY! Just like my Wooly, only he doesn’t have the DO. =D

Super adorable though! Love her!

Honestly, I have no idea.  I’ve never actually even seen a long-haired bunny in person before her, so I’m pretty clueles to the long haired breeds.  She does seem way fluffier than pictures of Lionheads I find online though,and her hair isn’t silky like a Lionhead’s seems to be in pictures… it’s very wooly, and very similar to the texture of a sheep’s wool.

Any guesses on her breed, if not 100% Lionhead? Vet’s office didn’t really bother to guess, they just called her a long haired rabbit.

Oh what a cutie! Her hair looks very similar to the second picture. Crimped is the perfect description; it’s not silky and smooth and straight.

She’s quite small… not sure on her weight, however. Under all the fur I’d say there’s a definitely good chance of being dwarfish, She’s probably about the size of 3 guinea pigs, LOL.

I would go insane brushing that hair! One of my shih tzus has decent hair, but he likes to lounge around outside on the deck for several hours a day, so summertime cut for him. As for the other… well… he doesn’t have the proper coat, he’s all undercoat so he stays trimmed all the time. I can’t imagine even trying to keep Hera or Wooly’s hair groomed! Rabbits are so fragile, I’d be afraid I’d hurt them!

It has definitely been a learning experience having a long haired bun to groom for the first time.. I’m very lucky she doesn’t seem to mind the actual process of grooming.  I do think she actually appreciates being all tangle-free afterwards, she usually does some binkies/zooms after she’s done, LOL.

Muffin; Hera is slightly smaller than that bun, but her hair looks very similar.  However she does have short hair along some of her back, the super fuzzy hair is mostly on her head, shoulders, chest, a little bit of her back near her shoulders, and her underside.  It is funny though, when she gets zooming real fast, her “mane” covers all the short hair on her back!
