Feeding Your Angora and Wool Block

Wool block can be fatal for your Angora. Angoras groom themselves similar to a cat. Digesting that fur is what causes wool block. If this happens, your bunny will stop eating. So, it is important to make sure that your bunny has lots of hay. Papaya and pineapple help as well. I buy my bunnies a supplement that you add to their pellets which contains papaya and yucca extracts. Tractor Supply (my favorite store) also sells a brand of feed with papaya chunks in it. My bunnies love it; however, if you have several rabbits, it might be cheaper to buy the big bag of pellets and a bag of the supplement.

Buying Your First Angora Rabbit

I decided to get the Angora breed of bunnies because they have multiple uses. I intended for my rabbit to be a pet, but I could also use the fiber from the rabbits to crotchet. I started my search on Craigslist, and found a mixed French/English Angora rabbit for sale. That is where my journey began.

Hunny Bunny

 In this picture, Hunny Bunny is around 6-7 months old, and he had a haircut about a month ago. You can tell in this picture that he has French Angora in him because of the ears. The fur around the face and head is the English Angora in him. He has the best personality! He was partially litter box trained when I got him. He is now completely trained. I'll discuss how to litter box train in another article. He loves being petted and is not bashful at all.

My rabbits stay indoors and outdoors. If you choose to have indoors, you will need a litter box. Rabbits basically poop with every jump....LoL You can get a fancy box with Timothy hay feeders or just a basic cat litter box filled with hay.

Do NOT use kitty litter, with one exception, you can use Purina Yesterday's News kitty litter which is just recycled newspaper. I tried this, and I liked it, but it's cheaper for me to just buy a bale of hay.
