Raising Angora Rabbits
Raising Angora rabbits can be a great experience for the entire family. If raising rabbits for meat isn’t an option, consider raising them for their fur. Angora rabbits produce soft, fluffy fur that is desirable for knitted items. Erase any thoughts of shaving these fuzzy little rabbits - it is gently harvested during the rabbits molting period.
Raising Angora rabbits for their fur/wool is a labor of love. They require little and are much easier to raise than sheep. They don’t require much in terms of food and you won’t spend much for vet bills either. The only thing you’ll spend a little bit of time doing (for most Angora rabbit breeds) is brushing them about once a month.
Buying Angora rabbits can be a little pricey, but they aren’t your garden variety rabbits! Expect to pay between $50 to $150, depending on whether you want to show the rabbits or not.
