What is Lionhead Rabbit?
full of fluff and lion -like mane surrounding the head, Lionhead rabbit becomes a popular, sought -after breed of rabbit individuals and groups in the rabbit circuit. It is not clear where the Lionhead rabbit comes, even if it is considered to be Belgium or England. In both cases, Lionhead was a random mutation, perhaps from a mistake in breeding Angora Dwarf, but it was a welcome mistake and the Lionhead rabbit quickly gained admiration for their unique appearance, friendly disposition and the ability to be trained. This happened sometime at the age of 90, making it the first mutation of the rabbit in almost 100 years. Rabbit enthusiasts are working to recognize Lionhead as a breed of the American Association of Breeders (Arba), but since February 2009 they have been unsuccessful. However, the breed of British rabbit standards (BRSBC) actually recognized the rabbit Lionhead as a breed and set standards.
According to BRSBC are recognized colors Agouti, black otter, moDrá, Chinchilla, Harlequin, Magpie, Opal, Orange and White. The body should be rounded, with a bold head and snout. The length of the foot should be medium and when we rise, the chest should be fully visible. Ears should not be more than three inches (7.6 cm) and the eyes should be bold and clear. Lionhead's rabbit mane surrounds the whole head and forms a whole circle. These rabbits weigh about three pounds (1.4 kg).
Lionhead rabbits offer the best of both worlds in the care department. They have a distinctive long hair length woolen, but surround their heads. This increases their appearance and shortens the care time associated with other long rabbits. Long hair or mane, surrounding either one or doubled. This is important to note because this affects the likelihood of rabbit production.
If two double Mashed Lionheads, the offspring will be 100% double manipulation. This is not ideal as with any new generation, the mane will be too exaggerated and the stains of long hair will grow to undesirableCh places. Lionhead rabbits are cautious to introduce rabbits without mane and rabbits with a single mane to maintain the desired length and fullness of hair. The current ARBA standards are exclusive for single manipulated rabbit Lionhead.
