Irritated I am...but hey.. three lionhead buns up for rescue : Adoptions / Rehoming

[ladysown]

So got to a place today with the aim of taking some rabbits off the hands of folks not wanting 'em.

Didn't expect to find a wee youngster with a broken leg and clueless people.
They got the money to spring for a big party (lots of booze) this weekend, but not enough to take a bunny to the vet that needs to go there. Irritated I am.

ANYWAYS...

Here are the cuties







Guesstimating based on size, attitude, etc. that they are between 8-10 weeks old.
mom is lionhead, dad is supposed to be a sibling (you know the buy two does and one isn't scenario).
Both parents are in the 5-6 lb range (haven't weighed them).

So they are free to folks on RT with rabbit experience. They are $15 for the girls and $10 for the boy if you are not on RT and are NOT experienced with rabbits.

One lop, one half lop, and one not lop? Weird.

[Dood]

When I cross my magpie mini lop with my otter holland lop I occasionally get a bunny with half up ears or one up and one down. Both parents have fully lopped ears. It makes me wonder if there are different genes involved in making a rabbits ears flop and they don't always work together the way we want them to.

[ladysown]

woot woot! I may have someone coming for the buck.

[curlysue]

Partially lopped ears happen sometimes with Holland lops.usually it because they dont have good crowns.

[ladysown]

based on what I see with the parents these kits surprise me not at all.

I was all excited, planning how to bribe my mum to take me to get one of the does, but I don't want to add any lop genes to my herd. Hurry and rescue a BEW or Broken Lionhead, Ladysown, lol.

[ladysown]

I'll do what I can ms. Bad habit. i've had a couple over the past year...

I am very happy. All babies are gone to new homes!!! All experienced homes with either rabbits or grooming needs.

Good job!

MamaSheepdog are you on BYC?
(sorry it's off topic)

MamaSheepdog are you on BYC?

No- but one of my former roosters is!

I have a friend who raises show Silkies and also has a mixed flock- he valiantly protected her hens from marauding hawks.

[ladysown]

ah...an update. Fairly sure momma is bred. Dad has found a home as well. IF momma is not bred she'll be looking for a home as of the 23rd. (last possible date she could conceive).

[Miss M]

Well done, Ladysown!!! So glad you found them experienced homes!!

These are Lionlops, my second favorite rabbit.
