Agreed! Even if you don’t want to get a new cage, you can just get a mat or bottom to put down so her little paws don’t get hurt! She’s sooooooo adorable though! My boyfriend and I got a Lionhead from the Humane Society but my boyfriend ended up being really allergic to all of his hair since he was constantly shedding so we had to take him back.
Loved the Lionhead look though, which is funny because when I first saw them I wasn’t very interested then I saw the one at the shelter and just had to have him! -
That’s WONDERFUL! You saved her from a life of breeding and poor living conditions. You can watch on youtube some videos of how smart rabbits actually are. They can be taught tricks with clicker training, some can even be completely free range and not need an actual cage if you are interested in something like that. It’s not for everyone and some bunnies just don’t do well with too much freedom, but just something that can show how smart they really are.
If you go to bunny info it will help you make your house ready for a loose bunny if you’re interested in allowing some free time out of the cage and can also show you some really creative ways to make a cage if you want to give her some more space.
I’m not sure if she already is or not, but bunnies are actually pretty easy to litter train also and that can save you money because you don’t have to have something all over the bottom and can keep the mess contained in a box.
Congrats on your beautiful baby – just a warning though, you might want to prepare yourself with more pictures. We tend to ask a bit. We like seeing new buns and the things they do

thanks, yes i plan on checking it all out, i want to watch the videos on here when i have a chance, the pictures are so cute of all the different bunnies.

thanks everyone
@elrohwen she looks a lot like your bunny with the markings on her nose just on one side.
i will try and get a different angle picture of her, i call it her beauty mark. -
Awwww, you guys are making me SOO jealous! We have three buns right now — but our other bun (we couldn’t keep him because my boyfriend turned out to be really allergic with all of his hair) was a Lionhead! I love the pictures of your Lionheads on this post — here’s my big guy before we had to give him back to the Humane Society.
