Question
Do Lionheads get hair/fur balls? How do I get rid of it?

Answer
Hi,

all rabbits have the potential to have a bezoar develop, as they ingest fur while grooming.  It is more possible in rabbits that have longer fur.

You need to get to a vet if you suspect this is what your rabbit has.  Depending on its size, different courses of action need to be taken.  An xray needs to be taken to determine where in the gi tract it is, and how big it is.  Once this is known, the best approach can be determined.

What makes you think your rabbit has this?
