About Angora Rabbit
The Angora Rabbit is one of the oldest domestic rabbit breeds. It has the unique distinction of shedding its own fur during the molting season, which will be eaten. Therefore, this rabbit breed should eat more hay to clear hairballs from the digestive tract. Yet, some angora rabbits prefer not to shed their fur, so they need to be shaved regularly.
