Lionhead Rabbit
They are named after the mane-like hair that grows around their necks, resembling a lion’s mane.
Originating from France and Belgium, they arrived in the United States in the 1990s. Their diet consists mainly of hay, leafy greens, and pellets. Among the smaller rabbit breeds, they measure 8 to 10 inches in length and weigh between 2.5 to 3.75 pounds.
With a lifespan of 8 to 10 years, they have a longer life expectancy compared to many other rabbit breeds. Known for their intelligence, good-naturedness, energy, and social nature, they also enjoy the company of humans.

Ferret
The name “Ferret” is derived from the Latin word furittus, meaning “little thief”. Ferrets belong to the weasel family (Mustelidae), which includes polecats, stoats, and ermines. Domesticated ferrets more than likely descended from the European polecat. Ferrets were domesticated 2,500 years ago, primarily used to hunt rabbits and rodents. The average lifespan of a ferret is 8 years. Ferrets are typically crepuscular, meaning they are most active at dawn and dusk.
Highly Intelligent animals, quite social Ferrets are obligate carnivores, which means their digestive system is made to process animal proteins and fats, meaning they should have diets consisting primarily of meat. Ferrets have a natural musky odor, which is normal and healthy. It is caused by their skin’s sebaceous glands, which produce natural oils, and their anal scent glands, which can release a strong secretion when the ferret is scared or excited.

Mini Lop Rabbit
These rabbits, weighing approximately 6.5 pounds, can live for 8 to 10 years. They are easily identifiable by their long, floppy ears, large eyes, and button nose. To keep their teeth healthy, they need a high-fiber diet and foods that help wear them down. They are known for their friendly and affectionate temperament.
Some suitable foods for these rabbits include hay, arugula, parsley, kale, mint, basil, cilantro, spinach, carrot tops, broccoli, bell peppers, zucchini, brussels sprouts, and pellets. For every 4 pounds of rabbit weight, feed ¼ cup of pellets daily.

Desert King Snake
The desert kingsnake, a non-venomous species native to Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico, United States, is characterized by its yellow and black coloration. Its diet primarily consists of rodents, lizards, and smaller snakes, including rattlesnakes. Typically, they grow to a length of 3–4 feet, but some specimens have been recorded reaching up to 6.8 feet.
Ranchers, who domesticate kingsnakes often do so to have them feed on other snakes, which could pose a greater threat. Historically, the desert kingsnake was considered a subspecies of the common kingsnake. It belongs to the Colubridae family, the largest snake family in the world.
