can I buy him please I need a Mars in my life 😭
my bunny looked quite similar when she was a baby and she was a Netherland dwarf bunny
(Mars looks like a cat in the first photo)
Lionhead dwarf?
I’m not an expert, I don’t even have a bunny. I just really love them ❤️
Oh boy! Sure seems to have a happy life with you!
TEACUP BUNNY 😍
Make sure you do research on how to properly care for them! They needs lots and lots of hay.
Mars is absolutely adorable!!! He’s definitely a dwarf breed of some kind with that face/ear shape, but I don’t know which exact breed(s) he is. I really hope your friends gave you a heads up about gifting you a bunny so you were prepared- bunnies can be wonderful pets, but they’re a big commitment! If you need any information about care, the bot and wiki are fantastic and you can always ask the people here too 🙂 Best of luck with Mars!
Make sure you find a good reliable rabbit-literate vet & get a file started. Bunnies need vaccines & other medical care, too
I believe this breed is called ultra mega super adorable or something like that
Do plenty of research on what it takes to have a bunny. Diet is one of the most important things. Always check if its safe before feeding new fruits and vegetables. Young rabbits should be fed alfalfa hay and young rabbit pellets till around 7 months of age or so. At that point, you can switch to Timothy hay or orchard hay and slowly begin introducing adult rabbit pellets.
Avoid any treats with seeds or nuts in them. There are way to many stores and brands that sell treats and food for rabbits that are not safe for them. I personally stick with Oxbow brand for just about everything I feed my buns.
As others have said definitely look around to find a rabbit savy vet near you. You will want to get him neutered at some point. Probably around 8 months of age or so since he is a smaller breed. This will help with litter box training and to calm his hormones down so he doesn’t spray pee everywhere marking his territory.
Rabbits are very social creatures so spend plenty of time with him. Another rabbit is always the best companion so if it’s in your budget and something you wouldn’t mind taking on look into getting him a friend.
He looks to be a young Netherland Dwarf from what I can tell. I would try to get him to a vet soon so you can get a better idea of age just so you know what the best diet for him is.
Yesss I can tell you a really important fact about mars. They are freakin cute.
Lionhead dwarf teddy! We have a same. Lovely ❤️
Aaaww, I’d look to get him a bunny buddy. In some countries, it is illegal to keep a single bun. They’re social creatures, and a human can’t replace that no matter how much time you spend with him.
Like the others said, hay, lots of hay. Training them to use a litter box is quite easy. Make sure to keep any cables out of the way. They love chewing those. They love to jump and run, so cages aren’t ideal unless it’s a puppy playpen, but they’re generally well-behaved.
Baby bunnies need specifically Alfalfa hay until six months (no fresh fruit/greens/veg until then) and young rabbit pellets (oxbow is good), PLEASE do research other than Reddit, rabbits are a huge responsibility. You will need a rabbit savvy vet and he will need to be neutered.
I have to say, its never a good idea to gift a pet but I do wish you luck and am happy to answer any questions.
Looks like a lionhead
Rabbits are a VERY high-maintenance pet! Much more difficult than a dog or a cat, and they make terrible gifts. I hope you explain to your friends that a bunny is a major commitment that needs to be carefully planned out. $1000’s need to be saved for vet bills and supplies, and gifts are usually surprises that someone hasn’t planned for.
Bunnies have extremely sensitive tummies and require a strict diet, and there are lots of other conditions to look out for
Idk but r/bigdudeslittleanimals
I don’t think rabbits are high maintenance, their like medium maintenance. You just need to understand their emotional maintenance is unique since their social animals like dogs/cats but their approach is different since they are prey animals. As far as physical maintenance every species of animal is different so just make sure your not comparing his needs to any other pets. Simple research, watch a video, read a few articles, and you’ll learn on your way.
Idk, but he belongs in r/IllegallySmolBunnies
I used to own rabbits. He needs a vet, immunizations, fixed, rabbits also tend to do better in pairs, if I’m right.
Hay, pellets, certain veggies and fruits are ok. I can compile a list of stuff if you want? Since I currently don’t own any buns anymore I would have to do some digging but yk.
Looks like a dwarf lion head
As others have already mentioned, taking care of a bunny isn’t easy and there’s a lot you’ll have to learn. What I’d like to mention is that they can be quite fragile in terms of health and often hide their illness until it’s too late. Be sure to learn how to recognize signs of illness, especially GI stasis which is relatively common and potentially fatal. Feeding and health are the first topics you need to learn about IMO.
That being said, Mars is an utterly adorable little guy and I hope the two of you have lots of fun together.
Mats is very cute! I will say though be careful about him having access to plants in your home lots of house plants can be toxic to them or cause digestive issues
he is 100% little man
In picture 2 he looks exactly like my bunny did as a baby and he’s a double mane lionhead (half dwarf). He grows up to be super fluffy and stays under 4 pounds. If you play with them a lot when they’re young they are very affectionate as adults.
This is the kind of bunny I want!!! Omg, you’re so lucky, what a tweet heart he is!!! Mars is small and just perfect 🤎
I am not an expert but I’m going to say Floofy Ganouche 😀 what a sweet little beauty! <3 <3
Hi cutie!
Get medical insurance on him while he’s young and there are no injuries/illnesses. It’s very affordable and can save you a heap of bills later on.
He’s a little baby
I’m not sure what breed, but his name suits him a lot!!
HE IS THE CUTEST😭😭💕💕💕
He is adorable also idk why people think gifting people pets is a good idea
I wanted to point out that in the first picture Mars is in fact CHARGING as seen
The House Rabbit Society has a lot of great info for new owners: https://rabbit.org/resources/for-new-owners/

You’re little Bun Bun has my last Name haha, cute little guy though
He so cure 😍
It looks like lion head dwarf bunny
🐰
Please take good care of this precious baby.
Find vet who is familiar with bunny care.
Make sure to get him vitamins,hay and water .
Bunnies require a lot of care and attention.
Awe, he’s adorable! Your little Mars there is what we call a lionhead. Very smol. Very cute. Very distinctive for their fluffy fur that looks a lot like a lion’s mane <3 He’s definitely mixed with some other sort of breed, but I’m not sure what. There’s definitely lionhead in him, though! You’ll need to do a lot of research on how to properly care for a rabbit. Don’t just buy anything that has a rabbit on it, ’cause packaging will lie. I made that mistake the first day I went looking for toys and bought mine a stuffed log that had seeds in it, which rabbits can’t eat… Oxbow has excellent products. He’ll need an unlimited supply of hay. AND HIDE YOUR WIRES! These little guys will eat EVERYTHING!!!
r/Rabbits is another FANTASTIC subreddit with a lot of great information that’ll be really helpful. They helped me a lot when I got my bun.
I hope you and Mars have many hoppy years together. 🐰
