Angora rabbits are long haired rabbits that actually have a fine wool instead of fur. This wool is used in fiber spinning to make very warm luxury products like hats and mittens.
Angora rabbits actually originated in Turkey and can now be found world wide and there are 5 different breeds of angora; the English Angora, French Angora, Satin Angora, German Angora, Giant Angora. These different breed are similar, but very different at the same time. I will explain this in another post about the different breeds of angora.
Angoras are domesticated rabbits who need to be cared for and groomed regularly. This is not a rabbit that you leave in a cage and ignore. They need to be groomed once a week and either shorn or plucked about every 4 months. Angoras can bond with their owners and can get depressed if they are put for adoption. They enjoy the company of their person.
Angoras, I would say. closely resemble a cat in personality. They love to be in the company of their owners but on their own terms. Other than that they like to be left to do what rabbits do.
Overall angoras make a pleasant addition to any family, as long as you are willing and able to care for them. Plus as an added bonus you get some amazing soft, warm angora fiber to spin into luxurious yarn to knit or crochet to your heart’s content.
