Rabbits :)

You don't have a rodents or rabbits (small pets) section sooo I didn't know where this should go.

I wanted to post some photos of my bunnie wabbits :3 I own 4 rabbits.
- 1 male lionhead.. about 3 years old.. small .. grey coloured fur which looks beautiful
- 2 female lionheads.. about 1 year old.. one is black and the another is a HUGE fluff ball and grey and white.. they are sisters
- 1 male lionhead X rex (father my male lionhead, mother is a standard albino rex).. he looked like a lionhead as a baby, but he looks like a rex now. he's grey like his dad

Malakai







haha, in the above pic.. he looks like a wooly sheep in his winter coat



Female Bunnies: Moomin (black) Missy (white & grey)












Jacob: lionhead X rex =]





okay.. i'll show you how he's changed... baby (lionhead looking) and now (rex looking)?





now...

will set up a rodent section tomorrow for this to be moved into.

awwww aren't they all so lovely and fluffy

Rabbits aren't rodents... they're lagomorphs. Lagomorph - order Lagomorpha - are relative large gnawing animals; distinguished from rodents by having two pairs of upper incisors specialized for gnawing. http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/327815/lagomorph

it is an insult to call a bunny a rodent

Your bunnies are very pretty Sarah. Your Jacob looks a lot like my Netherland boy Rebel

i don't think i'll be making a Lagomorph section anytime soon though lol

Maybe you should just lump them all together in a "small and furry" catagory maybe? that could encompass all small furry non dog/cat pets.

Great idea Kel. I shall rename rodents - small and furry. No point having both rodents and small and furry, since most rodents are small and furry lol.

hahah thanks kel for making him change it from rodents to small and furry
I knew they were seperate but i didn't know the proper name. I just know that rabbits, hares and those little pika's are part of it

your rabbit is lovely!!

Thank you I know you've seen the pix on the other site with almost all my rabbits Our first show in on the 19th of march... NEXT weekend EEEK... my 2 top contenders, Rebel there and Mr. Wonderful are both in HORRID moults... grrr... figures Then I'm bringing a few for sale, and have a couple juniors to show but don't expect anything major from them. Then I have 1 chestnut male Mel, that is actually looking good, no moult, and ready to show his first time in senior class. Kinda works against us as he is a YOUNG senior (just 7mos old. Jr. class ends when your rabbit is 6 mos and older) and will be competing against older more developed buns He'll do ok tho...

Good luck in the shows

I wish there were rabbit shows near me I would love to show my rabbit.. although they wouldn't be able to go in the pure breed shows because i'm not part of the british rabbit council. Maybe one day I'll show rabbits
:O what a shame that they are in moult.. but i'm sure they will do well at the show regardless

aaw them rabbits are really cute, lol i wish i bred rabbits they look very variable in pattern, colour and fluffiness lol.

haha they are
If i mate my lionheads, the babies could end up in loads of colours and coat types... black, grey, brown and white or mixed.. black and white would be cute

I love breeding rabbits .. i love peeping into the hutch to see if there's any babies in there I love how the females make their nests.. they pull out some of the fur from around their neck/chin and use it for the nest and they spend ages preparing it lol

I think the most funin breeding is finding out which pairs work depending on their strengths and faults. There are a lot of different types of rabbits out there,. I think we're up to 46 different ones recognised by the American Rabbit Breeders Association http://www.arba.net/Breeds.htm

WIDE variety both in the states and across the pond. Theone that y'all have that I love is teh Continental Giant... largest rabbit in the world


english angora (mind you this is ini FULL show coat)


They're all unique and fun

haha I love angora's. My white&grey lionhead, Missy, reminds me of an angora. Her coat is massive!!

i love giant rabbits!! my neighbour once bought a Flemish giant from a farmer's market/auction thing. We called him Mr snuggles he was more like a little dog.. he was bigger than her cocker spaniel puppy at the time

OMG that Angora is apsolutely the best thing ever lol.

If i ever breed rabbits... that is the reason why lol.

I use to breed flemish giants and they aer super rabbits. We just lost our last one last summer. He's buried out back under the ole oak tree.

poor bunny. RIP

This is Chachi. He was a fawn flemish and my boys 4-H rabbit.

awww he was such a cute bunny and such a lovely colour.. my neigbours was just a brown colour fawn is lovely. haha and i love his long ears
