Background:
His is jack-o’-lantern 🎃 and he’s the sweetest little thing, he is a rescue bunny and I’ve only had him for two days. I’ve build him a nice big pen to be in instead of the store bought one that I received him in. He seems very happy and playful and has given me tons of signs of affection.
Question:
What type of bunny is he? (Google said he’s a lions-head but also said he’s much bigger then they are so I’m not sure) Does he require different or unique caring? How big will he get and do I need to get another pen in the future? How do I make my new baby the happiest?
I’ve done some research before rescuing him but he needed a new and immediate home, anything will help even if it’s just personal experience!!!!

Oh! Looks like a lionhead mix with something else. What a beautiful pattern!
House Rabbit Society as a great guide for new bunny owners: [https://rabbit.org/resources/for-new-owners/](https://rabbit.org/resources/for-new-owners/)
This organization is the gold standard when it comes to understanding and caring for house bunnies.
It might be overwhelming at first to take it all in but to simplify it — bunnies need a lot of timothy hay, access to clean water in a bowl, some pellets, and veggies. And yes they do need space — the fact that you’re building a big pen for him instead of confining him to a store bought cage tells me you’re off to a great start!
I wish you and your bunny lots of happiness and great memories down the road!
Do you know age, weight and length?
His hair in the first picture is hilarious 🤣
Pied lionsmaine ? He won’t get that big. About the size of a small cat. If you have access to non sprayed-treated lawn wild weeds like Dandelions are very good for bunnies. Grass all the for the most part. They love dark greens and even tree leaves too especially mulberry and citrus, you can give them a whole stick with leaves they will eat the soft bark too. Staining milk berry and oleander can kill them.
