I think that my french angora is ready to start being plucked, but I'm new to this so I'm not sure. How do you know?
How to know when to start plucking?

When they look extra fuzzy, and you can pull out clumps of hair instead of strans. If you tug and it comes out easily, it's ready.

I'm under the impression that most of the wool should come out in clumps, easy to pull, in a 30 min grooming session. Now this is why I shear my buns, because it's been three days, and I've hardly got anything off of Ashford jr. It took two weeks to get half the wool off Ansel, and I still am pulling wool off almost a month. He did not release the coat in a molt, but because of change of food. He has not happy at all, and I had to tug at it. He looks awful and will still need to be sheared at the end of the month. Looks like none of these guys are molters. The himi doe had wool strands all over the cage, I pulled her wool out easily in one grooming session, and she looked naked.<br /><br />__________ Wed Nov 13, 2013 10:59 am __________<br /><br />
