      The Angora rabbit is one of the oldest domestic breed of rabbits, originating from Ankara, Turkey (historically known as Angora).


       The English Angora will not survive without human intervention. They will require grooming and nail trimming. Please research the breed before you reserve your bunny. Without proper grooming the English Angora will get matted and create problems that sometimes are not fixable and that can lead to death of your fur baby. English Angoras require a lot of attention in the coat department because their coat is so woolly and thick. They need regular brushings (1-2 times a week) with a wire-bristled comb and shearing approximately four times a year to keep their coat mat-free. English Angora’s can get wool block, cause by a buildup of wool in the stomach of the rabbit. This is caused by leaving the wool too long between grooming, and by too much handling of the rabbit. Rabbits are very clean animals, and will groom off any scent left on them from handling by their owner. This causes them to ingest hair, which they cannot regurgitate, and this builds up into a solid mass in the stomach, causing death by starvation or gangrene. For this reason, although they have a lovely temperament, I do not recommend them for petting zoos/farms. Ownership has to be responsible – and they quickly learn to enjoy face strokes and cheek scratches! This is an essential part of your rabbit’s grooming which is probably overlooked by most. Your rabbit has scent glands under their chins and genital scent glands, both produce a waxy substance, however the genital scent gland should be cleaned as often as you trim their nails. In healthy rabbits, of a good body weight and able to clean themselves, there is usually no problem these glands and they should not need to be examined. 


                                                               

  • Feeding


       A high fiber diet (lots of hay!) is important for Angoras to keep their digestive system healthy. 


Pelleted rabbit food and water must be available at all times, as well as good quality hay.

Put the hay in a “rack” attached outside the cage, so that the rabbits cannot soil the food with their droppings before eating, nor matt their coat with it when they pull it through to eat it.

Do not try and cut corners by feeding the rabbit substitutes used for other animals. The food will not be balanced for rabbits and will cause nutritional problems.

Treats such as carrots, fresh cut green grass and bananas should not be offered more than once daily, and only in small amounts.


  • Temperament 


      We spend countless hours with the bunnies we raise our main focus is for temperament and the best health we can provide.

      English Angoras are even-tempered rabbits who love to spend quality time with their human handlers. Because they require so much grooming, they will no doubt bond with the person who grooms them the most often, especially if it is the same person who feeds, pets and plays with them. While they don’t crave constant attention, their personalities flourish when they are mostly out and about and interacting with humans, which is why this is a great breed for both singles and couples who would like a pet in their lives.



  • Why we offer the first grooming


     Grooming & regular handling should start as young as possible for the English Angora breed, so they will not fight grooming in the future. Grooming when they are young is mostly about bonding with your bunny, and getting them used to regular handling.  


      Once a month, you should check out your rabbit’s teeth and trim the rabbit’s nails.
