Can you breed Lionhead and Dwarf rabbits?
You can, but breeding is not an activity to be taken lightly.
Consider that rabbits are overpopulated in urban areas all over the world. Hundreds of rabbits are killed in shelters in North America every year, just because there is not enough room. Are you sure you will find good homes for all your rabbits, and that those homes couldn't have taken home a rabbit from a shelter instead?
If you do decide to breed rabbits, you have to make sure you take good care of the mother and kits. There are many resources online that can give you information.
The lop-lionhead rabbit may look a bit odd though because it is likely that the lionhead's 'mane' would be carried down, though only in odd tufts!

Another person writes: Buy from the pet store a 500ml bottle, small pellets (make sure they are 100% animal-free), a hutch (small one), bag of hay, cage for him/her to run around in. The girls are very cheeky and hard to catch. The boys are very calm and easy to take care of.
How long can your bunny last without food?
One answer: Your bunny is like everybody else. It can not live very long since we need food to survive. Be sure to feed and give water to your bunny every day. They also really enjoy grass, carrots, lettuce, cabbage, cucumbers, and most green vegetables.
Another answer: Actually, bunnies are not like everybody else: humans and many other animals can safely fast for a short period of time, but bunnies can't. Rabbits need food in their bodies at all times or else they quickly go into GI stasis (aka ileus). Rabbits can get seriously ill even within 24 hours without food. This is one of a few reasons why you should give your rabbit unlimited 24/7 access to hay.
Can you feed rabbit that are a couple of days old baby formula?
Have you just purchased this rabbit or has the doe weaned this baby? You don't say much. A 6 week old rabbit is probably weaned. You should not sart feeding it formula again.
first answer: snow
different answer: The above answer is incorrect. Mammals can't actually eat snow because it freezes the belly, slows digestion, causes hypothermia, and generally makes them very sick. If you have a pet rabbit and you let him out to play in the snow, make sure he doesn't eat any! If you ever get lost in the woods, gather snow and melt it to drink the water: don't eat the snow!
All rabbits eat vegetation (plants) -- rabbits are herbivores and vegan. Different species have slightly different diets. The Arctic Hare is one species that lives in a snowy climate, and it eats woody plants and, when it can find some, also leaves, berries, grasses, and flowers and flower buds. It finds the woody plants by smelling and digging under the snow.
What animal can live peacefully with rabbits?
I have a rabbit who lives alone but I have heard that guinea pigs are good pals with rabbits. I had a rat that got along very well with my rabbit but they never lived in the same cage. Not to say I think they would fight or anything. I think that almost any small animal like a hamster or rat or mouse would get along just fine with rabbits, of course it all depends on the temperament of your bun or the other animal. If they are both laid back, they should be fine together. Also, you probably know this, but never put two males in the same cage together. Two females are usually fine. And you could put a male and female in the same cage, but obviously they must be spayed/neutered. I hope this helps! :)

How is a rabbit adapted to escaping from foxes?

What do you use to feed baby bunnies?
Baby bunnies should be left alone: their mother will take care of them. People often find wild baby bunnies and think they have been abandoned when in fact they haven't.
If baby bunnies have been abandoned and need to be hand-reared, it's likely they won't survive. They have the best chance with someone who has experience raising bunnies: a rabbit rescuer or wildlife rehabilitator. If you find abandoned baby rabbits or have any in your care, call a local rabbit organization, wildlife rehab organization, government wildlife department, humane society, or SPCA for advice.
The babies will have to be fed with a milk replacer until they're weaned. Cow milk is dangerous for rabbits. Safe milk replacers include KMR Kitten powder (for domestic babies) or goat milk (for wild babies).
When they start to wean (between 4 and 6 weeks old) they can start on pellets and hay. Fresh greens can be introduced in small amounts when they're about 12 weeks. Treats (fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains) should wait until they're ready to begin transitioning to an adult diet (at about 7 months).
See the links below for more information on caring for baby rabbits.

A rabbit needs a cool place outside in the shade. All rabbits should have a 4FT hutch as anything smaller would be cruel to animals.

What will happen to the rabbits when there is a decrease in the pheasant population?
Rabbits in the wild live by the supply of their food and the amount of predators.
So many, many rabbits in one area would eat lots and lots of the food, there wouldn't be enough food for all of them, and some would starve or they would move to different places.
That, or to a more extreme extent, the more rabbits the more predators there are, as now there is food for the predators, and so there would be less rabbits.
Overall the population would decrease.
Some does will by accident and on purpose. First time mothers may not build an adequate nest, or simply don't use the nest, and the kits may die of exposure. Some mothers will abandon their litters and again the kits will die from exposure or starvation. And yet other mothers may eat their young. This may happen for various reason as well, but the most common is because the doe is not getting enough nutrients and must eat the kits to stay healthy.
