Meet our Lionhead bunnies (Paige's 4H project)

On the tan carpet is the youngest of our adult Lionhead Rabbits. Her name is Kioki. She is the tan colored (Tort) with a really dark nose.
Next is our two bucks. The black and grey one is called Ash, and the much lighter one is called Cinder. Poor Cinder lost a lot of his mane trying to clean himself after he got tatooed. Yes, we believe in tatooing....our rabbits only. I think after helping tatoo the ear numbers we have officially zapped any desire our daughters have or might have in the future to get one on their own bodies.

We have a litter due fom our female tort, Chiphira (meaning little lion cub) tomarrow Dec 3rd. These rabbits tend to be hard to successfully breed so we are crossing our fingers. A Lionhead rabbit is exactly how it sounds. It is a dwarf rabbit with a mane like a lion. Once you see these rabbits you'ld think you were holding a seddated lioncub.

Last weekend Craig, the girls, and I all transformed the large dog kennel that Craig used for his dog into a weather resistant rabbit hole. We fit 3 rabbit hutches, and 4 hanging cages. It was such perfect teamwork that we all were on cloud nine. Now it is bunny watch time...... any hour now we will have brand new baby bunnies.

Madison's Breed of rabbits she chose have a coat that is silky soft. Ever heard of a velveteen rabbit? No, not the story, the actual breed. You can immaging its coat feels like velvet, however it is no match for Madisons Breed she picked out. She picked Mini-Rex bunnies. The name doesn't give it's "wow"ness like it should but it is so soft that you almost can't tell you are touching anything. Pictures to come later when her rabbit kindels (gives birth).
