The angora rabbit is originally from Ankara (Turkey) , from where it spread to Europe and later to the rest of the world. Throughout its history, this rabbit has undergone many changes in terms of its genetics since it has been the subject of many crosses, so that today it is somewhat different from the angora rabbit that originally emerged.
Today there are four varieties of this animal: English Angora rabbit, French Angora rabbit, Giant Angora rabbit and Satin Angora rabbit. In any case, and as with the Angora cat (with which it shares origin), one of the traits that differentiates them from other breeds is undoubtedly their beautiful, long and silky coat. In general, being a dwarf rabbit does not usually weigh more than 2 kg or reach large dimensions.
To keep your hair in good condition and look as good as it should, we must pay special attention to caring for it, which we must brush at least two or three times a week . We recommend that you choose a brush that is not excessively hard, since the fur of the angora rabbit is quite sensitive and you could harm it. In this regard, it should be noted that at first it may cost you some work to let you brush it, but if you are patient and treat it with affection, you will notice that it will cost you less and less.
In addition, it should be noted that they are slightly delicate animals as far as temperatures are concerned. They do not take extremes well, that is, they do not tolerate those that exceed 30 degrees or those that fall below 10. Therefore, we must emphasize the importance of placing their cage in a place away from sources of cold or heat.
This adorable bunny has a tragic story behind it, since due to the great beauty of its fur, in many countries they were frequently exploited and subjected to mistreatment to tear it off.
