I have been on a waiting list for an angora rabbit for a few months now and a couple of weeks ago, I finally got the notification that a litter was going to be ready to go home soon. The timing was awful... with the house going on the market... a big move ahead... but I wasn't going to lose my chance! So last weekend, we brought home an 8 week old REW angora rabbit!
Her name is still up in the air... the kids like Sabrina, but I just keep calling her Bun Bun. So we shall see what sticks!
She is so sweet and gentle... and chil! I expected her to be active, but she is content to just be. I have read that turning them on their back puts them into a trance, but she does this on her own. She is a back sleeper... little weirdo. This makes me glad though... it will make grooming her that much easier.
Her hair/wool/fiber is so amazingly soft and light! I was expecting it to be more like a dogs undercoat, but it is not. My son calls her a cloud. I am so looking forward to harvesting her fiber! It should be so dreamy!
We are currently looking for a buck to add soon. Once October hits, we might try for a litter of our own!
