All together I have 65 rabbits.
By the way thats not the name of a show (American Rabbit Breeders) its a assc. I’m a member!
I have a new litter of Emglish Angoras and the mother won Best In Show Nutmeg Rabbit Breeders Assc. Youth 2008
And all my rabbits have won lots of awards+my other animals.

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.

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.

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.
