Lionheads are generally ready to breed at 6 months.

Thanks!

It's finally nice out today so I was able to get a new more pics of the babies. They are officially on their own now, weaning process has begun!

This is the frosty doe I'll be keeping.

Wow, she is really nice!
Wish you lived closer, I'd put my name in for your next frosty. That's my favorite color in HLs.

I've never had one but always wanted one. Trying to decide which of my friend's bucks would be a good match for her. She had a magpie buck and I have a chin. I believe she also has a broken blue and rest are torts. Don't really care for the torts.

Anyone in MO looking for a young flemish giant?

I think your best bet (color crossing wise) would be a chinchilla.
I don't know if you show or not, but I believe magpies are not showable in HLs. I also read that magpies should be culled from your breeding program because they mess up the tri coloring. Same article stated that they aren't really useful in any breeding program.
As for the blue, I don't believe it is recommended.
I'm no color expert by any means, this is just what I've read.

No they're not showable and I believe the harlies are not showable as well. I love the magpies that I've come across on the Internet. I just think they're adorable. My friend got a really nice looking one a couple of weeks ago, was told it was a female, she got home, it was a male! She did not need anymore bucks so she was a little upset. She shows some of her rabbits, not all. I just started back up with the rabbit hobby this year. This was my first litter. Now that I live in an area that holds a lot of shows and has a lot of fairs, I'd like to go with my friend once I have a rabbit I think will do well. Right now I just have a harlie doe and chinchilla buck-who seems to be going thru an awful shedding process. I need to take a brush to him. I'll be keeping the frosty as I stated in my prior post, but I'm unsure as to whether or not that color is showable??

Frosty is showable. You just don't see many of them.
Most breeders who show breed torts, because they are generally the best quality.

Yea my friend is into that color, not me. Lol I feel that is the most popular color of holland lop. I'm one of those who likes to have what everyone doesn't have. And of course always the hardest to obtain. Lol I'm like that with all my animals tho. I have a cat that came from a litter of all calicos. I picked her because she looked like a rag doll cat as a kitten. Today she looks like a snowshoe cat. People will say she looks "Siamese" and I'm like no, more of a snowshoe, google it. Lol

My silly doe with week old babies has pulled out so much fur, she has a bunch of bare spots, even down parts of her legs! Is this unusual?
