Angora rabbit care can be broken up into 4 major sections:

1. Housing - Our rabbits are used to free roaming within the rabbit room and having partial access to the house. This means that they are desensitized to many household noises (cooking, vacuum cleaner, sudden sounds from movies etc), but also means that our rabbits would be sad if kept confined to a cage. They have had a taste of freedom and would do best in a house rabbit situation. 

2. Diet - A rabbit's diet should be made up predominately of grass.  It does not matter if the grass is in the form of hay or pellets, so long as the feed is of a  good quality. Because of the fast rate that angora wool grows, they do need extra protein in their feed in order to stay at a healthy body weight, so when shopping for pellets, look for labels that list 16-18% protein with as high of a fiber that you can find. Corn, soy & wheat should be avoided if possible. Our rabbits are used to having a balance of pellets with 24/7 hay access and fresh seasonal forage. Our rabbits come with a bag of transitional feed, as sudden diet changes are not recommended. 

3. Grooming- The wool of an angora rabbit grows about one inch per month and they molt 3-4 times a year. Grooming must be done with care as excessive brushing can damage their fine wool and actually cause matting. The recommended tools for grooming angora rabbits are a blower and a fine-toothed comb. Start at the base of the coat and groom to the skin, assuring that no knots or debris remain.  Our rabbits are groomed on a once weekly schedule, and we do offer FREE grooming for all of our rabbits who were adopted out.

4. Enrichment - Rabbits are smart and inquisitive creatures that become bored easily. Snuffle matts and puzzle toys can be useful to keep them occupied, as can tunnels, boxes and simply just rearranging things. Rabbits are very social, so be sure to interact with your rabbit often or to get them a friend!

This is just a brief overview and as a rabbit owner you will be on a constant journey of discovery as the recommended guidelines change. Science has not yet revealed all there is to know about the humble rabbit, so always be open to new information. But when receiving conflicting information, the best person to always ask is your rabbit.
