 |

Was brought two Lion Head bunnies today they have been abandoned, both male,pure white with red eyes be around nine weeks old, do they get any different treatment or do I treat them the same as my other rabbits? They are so cute thier fur around thier faces is just like a lion and then it goes short and gets longer again like a skirt, just spent quite a while combing and trying to clean thier skirts, was in a bit of a mess. Thier feet are rather dirty but i'll leave that until tomorrow,

In all honesty i wouldnt treat them any different to the rest of the buns. The sooner they got a steady normal life, the better
As for names, it too me 2 weeks to name my bunny, im hopeless...
How about Obi and Nuila? |

Well I guess they'll need to be booked in for their vaccinations and if they are still living together, being males, they are likely to start fighting, so get ready to spilt them. They can be neutered when their testicles descend. If you haven't already I'd re-check them to ensure they are indeed both boys, as young hairy buns are especially hard to sex at that age.
Poor buns, why would someone dump them? |
