    Our second litter due any day now!!!

    Our second litter of French Angoras are due any day now. Lily is sporting her haystache and fussing with the nesting box. Lily is a REW and the buck is a self black. I'm hoping for some beautiful colors. 3120

    French Angora Babies! Quite the adventure.

    Our 'unintentional' breeding did produce one litter, thus far, and from the experienced doe who I thought wasn't pregnant. I am such a newbie. Five kits were found this morning and all are now safely tucked away in the nesting box. Their morning certainly was an adventure. So this morning...

    Inadvertant breeding. Darn it.

    Here in Northern Indiana, the summer temps are really hot and sticky. Our four french angoras have been ding pretty well in our garage thanks to several fans, iced two liter bottles and giving them plenty of play time in the rabbit run out in the shady back yard or in the kitchen/dining room in...

    Rabbit containment pens

    What sort of pet containment pen work best for angora rabbits? I'm still new to raising rabbits so I'm not sure how high they can jump or if they will even try to jump out of anything while outside. Our rabbits are currently housed in our garage. Since the weather is getting nicer, I'd like...

    Best way to litter train a rabbit

    What is the best way to litter train a rabbit? We have cages with wire mess bottoms so the berries and urine go there but I have put small litter boxes in each cage as well. They all seem to use the litter boxes but as well as the floor but them tend to just sit and hang out in the boxes...

    Bald spots after plucking?

    I am still a newbie to this raising French Angora rabbit thing. I was so excited when we got our first rabbits and have set about grooming our two on a regular basis. Late last November I thought my chocolate tort was ready to harvest her wool. I got an awful lot of fiber off her using a...

    Do rabbits growl or purr?

    I haven't been a rabbit raiser for very long but I remember watching a video on rabbit care recently where they were saying rabbit have a sort of purr they do with their teeth when they are content. I couldn't hear it on the video but wondered what it sounds like. My two French Angoras have...

    Books for angora rabbit owners

    I have been researching books to get now that we have two French angoras. Our local library doesn't have much past the basic rabbit care books. I have been looking for 'Completely Angora' by Kilfoyle and Samson. Finding this out of print book is a challenge especially since any I have found...

    Sitting platform versus ???

    We have our two French angoras in stacking cages with a plastic sitting platform, or shelf, that I bought at the tractor supply center. I thought this might be more comfortable for them to sit on verses the wire bottom all the time plus it is easy to clean. Both rabbits also have litter boxes...

    Grapefruit seed extract?

    We picked up our second French angora this past weekend, a REW. BEAUTIFUL. The breeder told us one of her litter mates had gotten worms and died, but she gave the worms a different name that I can't remember. They treated our girl with grapefruit seed extract an an herbal/home remedy. Where...

    Grooming tips

    We recently bought our first French Angora and are very happy with her. She is about 1 1/2 years old. I know it takes time for us to get to know each other and for her to trust us. She tolerates brushing with both a broth and a comb on her back and sides. Her belly is another issue. When I...

    Anyone use soybeans for fodder?

    Well, we got our first Angora rabbit last week and today we were able to get some wheat seed. My husband had a wire cube storage system from his last house and we set it up to start growing some sprouts for our bunny. The seeds are soaking tonight so I will start growing (Hopefully) tomorrow...
