Satin Angora?

[Strax]

Okay. So. I ended up bunnysitting this beautiful babe, and it looks like she may become a permanent member of the family!
What I'm wondering is, is she in fact a satin angora? (Yes, I have been through the key)
If she IS, what kind of grooming will she need regularly? I've already been brushing her (once a day, haha!) and trimming her butt hairs every few days. But, will she need actual haircuts monthly? Or like fur thinning in the undercoat?

Eep! Help! (And thank you!!)

No angora. She is most definitely a lionhead. They definitely need brushing to get undercoat out. Using a soft slicker pin brush or comb will be fine. Idk about clipping the coat but do know they molt just like other rabbits so they shouldn't need haircuts.

How can you tell the difference? Just out of my own random curiosity! I didn't know that lion heads came quite this fuzzy

A proper lionhead should be that fuzzy.

Heres a thread with some baby photos from a Lionhead breeder who used to frequent the forum.

I have also edited your post as the photos are stretching the web version of the forum
