Hi there! This is my first time posting. I have two sweet Lionheads (I think!) that I recently rescued. By rescued, I mean I’m quite positive someone in our area got tired of their fair project and set them “free”. We live up against the woods on the outskirts of town and there are feral cats and loose dogs everywhere. We don’t even have wild rabbits in our neighborhood. This poor brown bunny was chilling on my deck. I was able to catch her and put her in an outdoor hutch we happened to have from my daughter’s rex that passed away a few years ago. The very next morning I went out to check on her and the black bunny was sitting outside the hutch. They are clearly a bonded pair. I do believe they are both females as well based on my limited understanding. I have both bunnies in an outdoor hutch at the moment but I’ve purchased a large indoor hutch for if the weather gets cold. I checked all of the missing pet groups and resources in our area. No one is looking for these sweet girls. I’ve decided to keep them as they are adorable and I’ve fallen in love with them. I had a lop when I was a kid and my daughter had her Rex. I’ve never had a Lionhead and am looking for some general advice on grooming, handling, and whether they are suited to living outdoors or do better inside. I’m also interested in any affirmation that they are indeed Lionheads as they are quite different. They seem very healthy and I’m scheduling a vet appointment.
TL;DR – I rescued two Lionheads and am looking for advice as to how to best care for them. Thank you in advance!
