i want the one out of the two that like to be cuddled more and are great with children.
plus i no how big the mini lops are; how big are the lionheads?
Answers:
I suggest a Mini Lop. If you want to, you can get a Mini Lop new born. I have an 8 week old Mini Lop. They are one of the most calm bunnies and they rarely ever try to scratch or bite, but they will at sometime. I do not know what a Lionhead is, sorry. GOOD LUCK
well, the personality of each rabbit is unique, however...it is known that lop rabbits tend to have a nicer personality than most rabbit, they are very sociable and love to be petted a cuddled. i have a french lop n hes so placid and lovely. Lionheads are geberally quite small, but again it depends on the variations. The best thing to do would be to go to a shelter and they would give you a bun which was good with children, then you wouldnt have to worry baout getting the wrong type of bun.
Oh I saw a picture of a lionhead recently - they are unbelievably cute and fluffy! They look pretty small though, smaller than the mini lop.dunno if that is a problem but I think any rabbits will be great for kids once they get used to the people handling them! =) They aren't the sort to bite if they are frightened unlike hamsters, might scratch though at first but once they are tamed they will be fab pets! Have fun! =)
I would get a lop.
Lionheads are alot more work and need to be groomed alot but the main reason i say this is all rabbits are prone to dental disease but lionheads for some reason are worse.
You can get mini lops and with any rabbit if from a young age you "cuddle" him/her alot then any rabbit will tolerate it.
Regarding sex i would suggest a female unless you are willing to get the male rabbit castrated as they can become quite excitable.
I reccommend a male mini lop - lion heads are shyer and males are more affectionate.
mini lops are a small breed - take a look on the internet for their size.
Mine is friendly - not cuddly yet but loves to sit next to me and have a stroke -he even plays football!! All rabbits have different personalities though, you could even go to a rescue centre as the personality is already known once adult. I got mine as a baby and hes gorgeous and such a funny character. Rabbits generally dont like to picked up but you can still have fun with them my chidren of 5 and 2 love him and sit with him in his big run and play with him and he gets excited and does binkys !!
This choice is really up to you but here is some info on the breeds to help you make up your mind;
Lionheads are a little bigger than mini lops but only by a little
Mini lops are more prone to ear mites and ear-realated problems.
Lionheads are more prone to have fleas and lice living in their fur
Mini lops are known for their friendly disposition and gentle behavior.
Lionheads tend to take handling better than most rabbits
lionheads would need brushed more frequantly
*in my personal opinion what you want is a french lop, or a flemish giant, both are great with kids and love to be handled.*
I have a male lionhead and he is extremely friendly and affectionate. He has no problems with being handled and will jump up and sit on your lap for hours! However, the amount of fur means he needs to be brushed lightly everyday and thoroughly once or twice a week. He is quite happy to sit and be brushed though so it's not a problem. All rabbits have different personalities though, and I can't tell you anything about mini lops because I've never had one. All I know is that lionheads grow bigger than them. Good luck!
Rabbits are adorable to look at but in reality they aren't cuddly toys and most rabbits prefer to sit next to you and be stroked rather than be held and cuddled. They have a strong kick and very sharp nails and I honestly don't think they make the best pets for kids. They're delicate and soon suffer breaks if kids fall on them or drop them.
They need lots of exercise (at least 6 hours free running every day) and cost more to keep than you realise (good quality hay, wood based litter for litter tray, food, vets, housing etc). Males tend to turn into complete sexpots when so will need neutering at maturity and females must be spayed to prevent uterine caner which kills the vast majority of unspayed female rabbits.
I have a mini lop and a dwarf lop and both are really friendly. Lionheads are a medium sized rabbit.
i would go with a mini lop out of those 2 breeds as lionhead have long fur in places and need more grooming males make better pets in my experience take a look at my website link page you will find breeders there also the brc website link
