Hi. I am thinking about buy an English Angora or Giant Angora. I really want “tassels” on the ears. Which breed do you think is better for having decorative ears?
Can English Angora rabbits be washed? What happens if their fur gets wet? Thanks very much for the info. I have fallen in love with the rabbits on your website.

English angora are so nice, and have the best temperments. To see a well taken care of angora is really something of beauty. They are super soft and fun to groom. My Auntie has English Angora here in Canada and she shows them. You can her’s on her web site, she has Betty Chu line bunnies. I love going & helping with the bunnies.

Please do not promote the breeding of these poor creatures…
They cannot get wet - this mats the fur
Hay tangles their fur
Poo tangles their fur
They need brushing for at least an hour a day
They do not enjoy being brushed and it stressful for you and the rabbit
Tangled/matted fur results in skin infections which are unpleasant and can start to smell and cause other illness if not treated.
They may look cute but they are difficult to look after - I have 2 - from our rescue doe - who is a short haired lop. She was already pregnant when we adopted her - and 2 babies are like fur balls. You constantly have to pick up stray poo - where it sticks to the fur and flicks everywhere. you have to clean up soft poops before they find their way into the fur and mat. You have to pick up every stray piece of hay - as small bits cause knots, as do food particles - moulting fur which does not drop out of the rabbit properly - you have to brush it out daily - or it weaves itself through the surrounding fur - causing a golf ball of matted wool. They cannot get wet - this mats the wool. They can die from ingesting wool - it gets stuck in their gut and this is the No.1 killer of Angoras. You must groom them daily. You must tidy up after them constantly. They cannot go outside unless they have a clean dry secure area with no debris to get stuck in their coat. They should not be bedded on wood shavings, straw or anything else that tangles in the fur.
Beautiful they are - suffer they do. IN THE UK PEOPLE REPORT HAVING RESCUE ANGORAS IN - THEY TURN UP LOOKING LIKE A TORTOISE - WITH A HARD SHELL OF MATTED FUR LITERALLY STUCK TO THEIR BACKS. THEY ARE NOT FOR PETS - THEY ARE NOT FOR CHILDREN. IF YOU CANNOT DEDICATE ALL OF YOUR TIME TO CARE FOR THESE CREATURES (NOT IF YOU HAVE FULLTIME EMPLOMENT OR CHILDREN WHO ALSO NEED CARING FOR!) THEN PLEASE DO NOT MAKE THESE ANIMALS SUFFER MORE THAN THEY ALREADY DO. IT TAKES YEARS TO LEARN TO CARE FOR THESE ANIMALS CORRECTLY. AND POSSIBLY A LOT OF MONEY! PLEASE GO TO http://WWW.FORUMS.RABBITREHOME.ORG.UK. AND ASK THE QUESTION - EVERYONE WILL TELL YOU THE SAME - BREEDING THESE ANIMALS FOR SALE AS PETS IS CRUEL - THEY ARE BETTER LEFT TO PROFESSIONALS OR AS SHOW ANIMALS. THEY ARE VERY HIGH MAINTENANCE ANIMALS. AND THEIR LIVES ARE SEVERLY RESTRICTED AND PENALISED ALL FOR THEIR BEAUTIFUL COAT.

Angoras rabbits are wonderful but they are not a rabbit for beginners or to have “just because they are cute”. Angora rabbits need to be brushed on a regular basis, they need plenty of hay for fiber or they can get wool block- this is potentially fatal. They must be kept sheltered from heat and extreme cold as well as rain/snow. Their wool mats very quickly if they get wet. I brush my angoras daily- they love the attention- and every 3 months I shave my angoras down (I use the fiber for spinning).
I do not recommend breeding angora rabbits unless you are truly devoted to the breed and have plenty of experience caring for them.
Angora rabbits can also be expensive, unless you are getting one from a rescue, expect to pay anywhere from $50- $200 each- depending on breed, age, quality of wool, and where you are.

Betty has good rabbits, but she crossed them with the German Angoras in order to get all that wool. So you might not be getting a pure bred english angora from her managerie. The english angora coats do not get as long as hers unless you cross them with the German breeds.
