Something that I don't think has been addressed is that some moms are just lousy moms and don't care for their babies. We "humanize" them by thinking they'll act like a human mom - but they don't. It has been years since I was breeding but I did keep a final kit alive. It helps that it was...

Years ago, when I first got Tiny, he hated to be held. He was a flemish giant that had been largely left in a cage by his breeder. He wasn't show quality so he wasn't worth messing around with. By the time he died a few years later - he was a cuddlebug. He loved to be held and petted (as...

We have a dog, three cats (one of which has adopted us and moved herself in...thanks to my daughter leaving the back door open a lot) along with the 8 remaining rabbits we have left. Oh yes - and three hedgehogs....and three prairie dogs!

Hi! I was one of the rabbitry moderators a few years ago and I used to breed lionheads and hollands along with flemish giants (not together!). If your doe is 3 pounds, she should be able to deliver ok as I've seen and heard of smaller rabbits (smaller breeds) being able to deliver and being...

As a former lionhead breeder, I'm doing the happy dance here. Lionheads passed at ARBA (tort and REW I think?) - so they are now an OFFICIAL BREED! WOO HOO!!!!

I'm just now seeing this thread and also wondering how things are going. I know your fiancee' probably seems awesome other than this - but I have got to say that if it were me - I would back away. My dad was a compulsive liar - I'm not even sure he could look at a clock and tell you the time...

Hi! I'm a former lionhead breeder with ... 7 years experience maybe? I've been out of lionheads for a bit but I still enjoy reading up on them and keeping up with the breed. I can hardly wait for them to pass. Your rabbit is what is called a "teddy" lionhead. Personally, with the current...

First of all - let's start with some information about showing that I think you need to know before you start showing. Showing a rabbit means you're getting ONE judge's opinion - on that rabbit - on that day - against a bunch of other rabbits. If your rabbit makes BOB (Best of Breed) then...

If two died then the one that is left needs more fur for warmth because it doesn't have the other two to keep it warm. She also may be sitting in the box to keep the baby warm since there are no more babies. Sounds like a great mama.

Your rabbit's shape reminds me of two lionheads I had - one was 2 generations from being a rabbit from the UK...the other one was a rabbit that had been imported from the UK. Here is Harry - the one who was two generations away: What caught my eye on yours was the thickness and width...

Oh wow - what a great thread. My story is so .... long...and parts of it hurt so much. But somehow, I feel it building up inside me as if it is time to let it out. Those who followed my old blogs on here years ago probably know much of this. I had rabbits as a kid. I had one rabbit that ran...

Hi! Thought I'd take a moment to check in and say howdy. There are SO MANY new faces and names - of course it has been FOREVER since I've been here. We're still in Del Rio, TX - just celebrated our 34th wedding anniversary. Eric just got married in August (WOO HOO) - so I have the "hope"...

I need to get a new camera - for Art. I love my camera(s) - but Art would like one that he could take when he goes on his cross-country motorcycle trips when he has days off sometimes. He'll hear of really pretty routes and take off to see the scenery, etc. and often wishes he had a camera to...

My first rabbit as an adult was a flemish giant. We're a family who is into puns...and I thought "it would be fun to play on his name". Sine he was black, I thought of "Jack" or "Magic" but then decided on the perfect name for a huge bunny..."Tiny". We would often show off Tio and Kyo - our...

Jim, I'm just now logging in and seeing this - I had no idea. I'm so sorry for your loss. I remember when you got her. I'm so glad that she spent her last years with you and not in a shelter somewhere. Hugs to you and your family - and may she binky free. Peg

First of all, as I'm sure you can see by the replies on this thread - you are not alone. I know that when I'm in a bout of depression I FEEL alone - but the fact of the matter is that many people suffer- sometime in silence - sometimes not. But what you are experiencing needs to be acknowledged...
