These Lionheads typically do not hold a mane for their entire lifetime, if it develops at all. They have a mane that can be around its head, ears, chin and sometimes on the chest and rump. The mane may be wispy and thin and may disappear on some rabbits altogether as they mature. Single maned Lionheads are usually the product of a Purebred Double mane Lionhead being bred to a rabbit of another breed in order to strengthen a particular characteristic, or to introduce a particular color into the Lionhead breed. Kits born without a copy of the mane gene are called "no maned." Temperament and Bonding In most cases the Lionhead is a friendly and well mannered pet, although they can be quite skittish if they don't feel safe. It is possible to train a Lionhead as they are very smart creatures. They can comprehend certain orders such as, come, play, and eat. Clicker training is now becoming popular. Lionhead rabbits can be litter trained, and make suitable house rabbits. As with all rabbits, Lionheads should be kept in pairs at the very least as they are very sociable creatures. Extra care must be taken when introducing or attempting to bond a Lionhead with another rabbit, especially another Lionhead. These rabbits can be aggressive and prone to attacks when they feel threatened or scared.
