Grooming The Faithfully Departed Retired Velvet Lions Foxaway Rabbits Home

Here are the newest additions to my rabbit family! Thank you, Lily! Velvet lions are a mix between the lionhead and mini rex breeds. Please visit my Mini Rex Herd page to see the other rabbits I raise!!

I am in the process of adding junior and senior photos of my velvet lions since the appearance of the manes change as they age. I am discovering that their manes even go through phases as seniors. Sometimes their manes are fuller than others. The does pull lots of their mane out to line their nests when they get ready to kindle as well, which cause them to look a tad naked. I am trying to get senior pictures when their manes are at the fullest so please be patient as I gradually update this page.

SM=single mane
DM=double mane
