• The Angora rabbit (Turkish: Ankara tavşanı), which is one of the oldest types[1] of domestic rabbit, is bred for the long fibers of its coat, known as Angora wool, which are gathered by shearing, combing or plucking. Because rabbits do not possess the same allergy-causing qualities as many other animals,[citation needed] their wool is an important alternative. There are at least 11 distinct breeds of Angora rabbit, four of which are currently recognized by the American Rabbit Breeders Association (ARBA):[2] English Angora, French Angora, Giant Angora and Satin Angora. Others include German Angora, Chinese Angora, Finnish Angora, Japanese Angora, Korean Angora, Russian Angora, St Lucian Angora and Swiss Angora.

What does the rabbit eat?

Angoras eat from 4-8 ounces of pellets daily, depending on their mature weight. A handful of hay is important for

fiber production. About 1 tablespoon of sunflower seeds is a good daily supplement and the seed’s oil helps the

rabbit’s digestion. Rabbits must have fresh water at all times.

Fresh Food:

Rabbits in the wild do not eat pellets. Offering your rabbits plenty of fresh foods (and hay) more closely resembles a rabbits natural diet. Use dark leafy greens that are richer in nutrients than the pale green types. Feed a minimum of three different types of greens daily. Don't stick to just one type.
