Question
hi i bought two lionhead baby rabbits last week they are from the same litter but one is very fluffy and the other is not so. we havent had them sexed yet but is this because the fluffy one is male as it was the only one out of the litter that was like this  

Answer
Actually, the amount of fluff has nothing to do with a rabbit being a male or a female. Lionheads come in three different "versions". No mane lionheads mean they have no long hair at all. Single mane lionheads mean they have some long hair. Double mane lionheads mean they have a lot of long hair. You will need to get them sexed to make sure you are not housing a male and a female together.
