Raising lionhead rabbits is about as much fun as rabbit raising gets! I am adopted mom to my daughter’s many lionheads and watching them is a delight. I feed and water them at least several times a week with my little grandson’s help.

It is generally believed that the lionhead rabbit originated in Belgium as a result of the crossbreeding of the Swiss Fox and a Belgian Dwarf. Then crosses to a smaller wool type breed were made. Later the breed was imported to England where continued crossbreeding of small breed rabbits and wool breeds was done.

However, another opinion is that the lionhead breed did not originate in Belgium. It is thought by some that when European breeders were working on the Dwarf Angora the lionhead mutation occurred in a litter of bunnies and was accidentally spread throughout the Dwarf Angora Breed. Whichever actually happened, the first lionhead rabbits were imported to the US in 1999.

Lionhead rabbits get their name from the mane they grow that looks very similar to the mane of a lion. I assure you, the similarity stops there. The manes can be double or single and of course, the double manes are the prettiest.  Interestingly the gene that causes the mane seems to be a dominant mutation which means that only one parent is required to have the “mane gene” to produce more lionheads.

The needs of rabbits are very minimal and lionhead rabbits are no exception. A cage, a food dish that can be attached to the cage and a water bottle, also attached to the cage are all that is required. Generally the cages have trays that slide out for easy cleaning which should be done at least every 3 or 4 days. Cages can be purchased at pet stores, farm supply stores or from rabbit raisers who make their own cages as well as sell them. Used cages can often be found at flea markets or through Craigslist.

Lionhead rabbits require no special grooming or care although they enjoy the extra attention. And, like all rabbits, the more handling they receive, the sweeter and nicer pets they make. LIONHEAD RABBITS tend to be very friendly, enjoying human contact. They are easy to handle and if brought into the home at a young age they become accustomed  to human contact and make excellent pets.

They are healthy overall as a breed. So if you are looking for a mini rabbit (recommended standard for the adult is 3 3/4 pounds) that is a bit different and unusual, lionheads are a good choice due to their size, temperament and ease of care.

SPECIAL CARE REQUIREMENTS:

The lionhead rabbit mane can become felted similar to other wooled breeds, so it needs to be carefully brushed out periodically. Avoid vigorous brushing which could pull the wool out. Be patient and gentle and your rabbit will reward you by looking utterly gorgeous.

As with all wooled breeds, you need to make sure your lionhead rabbit gets sufficient fiber to prevent fur from balling up in their intestines. A good rule of thumb would be to feed only hay once a week, leaving out the rabbit ration on that day.

What if you had a very good website and still not able to get the visitors or customers? All you need is right kind of Internet Marketing.The tremendous growth of the Internet has created opportunities for consumers and firms to participate in an online global marketplace. The Internet has provided a rare opportunity especially for small to medium sized enterprises (SMEs). It moves organizations beyond the physical constraints of their traditional distribution channels and creates a world wide virtual community in which SMEs can compete with large enterprises.

When people are looking for a company to provide them with a product or service they are increasingly turning to the Internet to find it.You need to think: who you are and where do you want to be in the future. Whether offline or online, there are only two things that matter: “Buying” and “Selling”. Find out what your competitors are doing on the Web. Spend a few days checking out how your competitors are using the Web. Analyze each site. How does the site help tell the world about that company’s products or services; is it easy to use; is it enjoyable to use; does it add value to the company’s customer service; is it integrated with the company’s other marketing efforts.

Here are some of the Internet marketing Methods:

1.Email Marketing:is an important part of internet marketing. Build a list of the right kind of consumers for your products that you hope to target and obtain their email address. Send out only product information at certain, well-spaced intervals and also try to include some freebie or incentive, this does not need to be a high value product but definitely something important to your client base, doing this ensures that your emails are not ignored or put in spam.

2.Search Engine Optimization:If you want web browsers to visit your site, than focusing on search engine optimization and search engine marketing is a must. No Internet marketing plan is complete without ensuring that your site is submitted and included on major directories like Google, Yahoo!, and DMOZ. The dollars spent on Search Engine Marketing of any type will pay huge dividends.

3.Promote your Website:Once the king of Internet marketing, online banner ads have evolved to include animated and flash banners, but the premise remains largely the same. Marketers purchase a specified number of impressions to run on a single site or network of sites and are generally not guaranteed a specific number of clicks.

4.Blogs Writing:Blogs allow you to put up constant fresh content. This content is easy to get to online and is indexed quickly in search engines. This means that search engines can easily get to your blog and send individuals there. Having a blog on your website or one that contains links to your website can benefit your search engine rankings.It is essential that you focus your efforts on blogs covering topics relevant to your product or service offering.

5.Article Writing:Another method of Internet marketing that works well for many people is writing articles about the subject your website covers. If you own a website on raising rabbits chances are good that you are an expert in that area. If you write short articles about your subject and make those articles available free of charge to websites and forums that need content you can include a link to your website in the article and use them as free advertising to make people aware of your website.

6.Link Building:Web linking methods also come from outside sources. For example, you will see that with your blog, people will want to link their blog to your own. This is especially true when you write a great message on your blog that people want their readers to read. This gets yet another link pointing to your website.
Sites like Google offer pay-per-click advertising for anyone interested in getting their message in front of the right segment or prospective buyer. This method is highly targeted and offers one of the best and most popular forms of internet marketing. Marketers using pay-per-click advertising only pay a fee, based on the competitiveness of a keyword or ad title, when a link is clicked on

Internet Marketing Benefits:

• More cost effective and flexible than offline advertising.
• 24×7 days presence
• Convenient to research a product
• Value added customer satisfaction
• Standardized sales performance
• Improved credibility
• Can establish two-way communicative marketing
