Has anyone had lion head rabbits? Pros and cons of having rabbits, please.
I don't have a lion head, yet. But I do love love love my rabbit. If I had her spayed, I'd get more. But, the DH vetoed that. I adore them. If I had my way, I'd have one of each breed.
There's some really great info on the GA House Rabbit Society's website:
http://houserabbitga.com/. I could go on for days about how awesome they are but here is a short list of pros & cons:
Pro:
The cute factor is astronomical
Their turds are awesome fertilizer
They can be litter trained (surprisingly easy to do)
They're super sweet(most of them anyway)
Their antics are entertaining (much like chickens, but more so)
They're extremely clean and constantly groom themselves
They're mostly low maintenance
You can teach them tricks, how to jump obstacles
Con:
Destructive ( this can be curbed with spaying/neutering)
-I'm pretty sure Lucille Bunn's mission in life is to consume my sofa in its entirety.
-the will absolutely chew cords, shoes, anything they can get their teeth into, but rabbit proofing the house will help with this. As I type this, Lucille is currently nibbling on the shirt I'm wearing.
They are willfu
They're not the best pet for young children, since they're not much on being picked up and such. However, Lucy's pretty darn cuddly and affectionate, otherwise.
They are social animals and do thrive best when they have a bunny companion. Or other animals in the household.
They need lots & lots of space and exercise

Seeing as how you love your chickens so, I have a feeling you may end up with a case of rabbititis.
When your husband asked me at the swap If I had chickenitis yet, I told him I had rabbititis instead.
