NEW BUNNY TOMMORROW EEEEK!

[AnnaW]

Hi guys, i havent been on here for over a year now since i lost my lovely boy Biscuit. But now, i am back, and getting a new bun tomorrow!!!! RIDICULOUSLY excited, i’ll upload a photo of him! He is a 1 year old lion head, the family cant cope with his fur anymore so are giving him away. I couldnt resist, he just needs someone to love him!!!

 

So what do you guys think? Happy to be back on the forum, couldnt bear to have a look around since Biscuit died, but now i will have a new little fella this time tomorrow!!

He’s cute – are you sure he’s not an angora? Long hair rabbits definitely can be a challenge and they aren’t for everyone. I know we have lots of members with long hair rabbits that can give you grooming tips – I love the long hair rabbits, but I never was up to the grooming challenge.

[AnnaW]

They said he was a lionhead, but i will find out once i have him and can feel his fur and see properly I have 2 persian cats, so i’ll be up to the challenge

[Sarita]

Oh, you definitely will be up for the challenge then!

He just looks furry all over to me which makes me think of angora rather than lionhead – I love his fur color too.

[AnnaW]

Yes indeed! He was bought for his family’s children, so perhaps they dont know a lot about him? Either way, he is just beautiful and i love him already!!! I’m very excited, think i’m going to keep him in an X pen, with a pet carrier for when i need to move him

He is beautiful! He will be so lucky to have you and have someone who understands his hairy needs. =p =]

[AnnaW]

Thankyou! I think he is stunning Haha yes, i most certainly understand these furry creatures! The questions i have are all because i’m so out of practice, having been out of bunny keeping for a year! Veg i can give him are carrots, brocolli, radishes, apples … anything else that is common and fairly cheap ish? He is a year old, so timothy hay? My old bun would not eat hay, so i am DETERMINED to get this one eating loads!!!!!!!

[DUSTBUNNY-CLYDE]

he’s beautiful, congrats!!! If your used to persians, the buns are a piece of cake to groom!! my ragdoll cat takes at least 30 min. to groom!! my lionhead boys only take 5 minutes every 3 days!

Omigoodness he def looks more angora than lion head. Have you met him yet? I’m so excited for you post pictures when you get him ()

[jerseygirl]

Hi again! It’s great you’re getting a new rabbit in your life.
Looking forward to hearing more about him.

I’m going to throw in suggestion he might be a lionlop even.
You being in the UK, I think lionheads there are recognized breed. Also larger??? Do you happen to know the standard size of the lionheads there?

[AnnaW]

Thanks for all the replies! I’ll look into those different breeds and post a few more clearer pics once I’ve given him a brush – maybe we’ll be able to see his face lol! I haven’t met him yet, but will be going to collect him tonight around 6pm, so exited!!!! The little fella doesn’t have a name – help with ideas please?? x

[jerseygirl]

When you meet him a name might come to you.
Will be good to see more pictures. We always want more. Lol

Good luck! I hope his transition to new home with you goes smoothly.

[AnnaW]

Yeah maybe haha no worries there will be plenty of pictures, I love looking at other people’s bunnies the lady said he loves a fuss and to be groomed, so hopefully he has a lovely temperament like Biscuit did

[jerseygirl]

I do have a few name suggestion…

Cookie (as an acknowledgement of Biscuit)
Chai- because he reminds me of the colour of Chai
Or Mocha or Nutmeg.
And finally, McFloofer- for obvious reasons. :p

[AnnaW]

Cookie would be cute I like Nutmeg, but that was the name of our beautiful grey persian who we sadly lost last year, i’ll upload a photo of her – she was gorgeous!! Thanks for the suggestions, i’ll have to have a brain storm Would it be wrong to call a bunny Pooky, after Garfield the Cat’s bear? lol

[AnnaW]

Looking at lion lops as you suggested Jerseygirl – he doesnt look far off!! Hopefully we’ll have more of an idea once i’ve brushed him and we can see his features better and what his fur is like

[jerseygirl]

Pooky would be cute!
Names are such a personal thing. I don’t think any could be thought of as wrong really.

[AnnaW]

He may well end up as a Pooky!! This is me and my persian – Meg (short for Nutmeg)

 

[jerseygirl]

I think I remember you posting about her. You’d also had her a long time? Like Biscuit?

I thought rabbits were best at doing the “disapproving look” but seeing her, I may have to rethink that!

[AnnaW]

Yeah, we rescued her and her sealpoint sister when i was 9 or 10 then got Biscuit for my 10th birthday Haha she could have the biggest smiley face you can imagine when she’d had some treats and cuddles

[DUSTBUNNY-CLYDE]

[AnnaW]

Thankyou! Can you tell i like fluffy things? lol x

[DUSTBUNNY-CLYDE]

 

ME TOO!! i HAVE A RAGDOLL CAT AND MY LIONHEAD BOYS ARE SO SOFT AND FLUFFY!!!

HERE’S GRETA!!!

[AnnaW]

She is beautiful!!!! Can i ask what weights and ages your lionheads are? x

[DUSTBUNNY-CLYDE]

[AnnaW]

Haha Greta is the definition of big and beautiful in that case! Ok thanks, Barney’s previous owner said he is a year old but i’m not entirely convinced!
