Because the fluff deserves the right kind of love

So you fell in love with the fluff… and honestly, who wouldn’t 😌

But that beautiful coat does come with a level of care that’s important to understand. English Angoras require regular grooming, a proper indoor environment, and consistent upkeep to stay healthy, comfortable, and looking their best.

Grooming is one of the most important parts of angora care. Your rabbit should be brushed or combed at least two to three times each week. Pay close attention to areas where tangles tend to form—around the face, cheeks, chin, behind the ears, and along the underside. These spots easily collect hay and debris and can mat quickly if not maintained. It’s also important to regularly check that the back end stays clean and free of buildup. Sanitary trims should be done as needed, and a full shear or clip can be done approximately every three to four months, or sooner depending on coat condition and your preference. Nail trims should be done every four to six weeks to keep your rabbit comfortable and moving properly.

English Angoras should not be kept outdoors in Florida. This is extremely important. Their dense coat makes them very sensitive to heat and humidity, and they can overheat quickly. They should be kept indoors in a temperature-controlled space, ideally between 62 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit. If you feel warm, your rabbit likely feels even warmer. A clean, well-ventilated area is essential for their comfort and safety.

For housing, exercise pens tend to work best for daily living, giving them space to move while staying safe. If using a more enclosed setup, it should be no smaller than 30 by 30 inches. Since rabbits do not have padded feet like dogs or cats, they need soft, stable surfaces such as rugs or mats to prevent slipping and to keep their feet comfortable. Their space should be spot cleaned daily by removing soiled hay or litter, with a more thorough cleaning done once or twice a week. A simple mixture of vinegar and Dawn dish soap works well for cleaning and is safe to use. Bleach should be avoided.

Diet plays a huge role in both health and coat quality. English Angoras should always have unlimited access to Timothy hay. Up to six months of age, they can also have unlimited pellets. After six months, pellets should be measured to about four to eight ounces per day. A high-quality pellet such as Manna Pro can be used, and some breeders choose to supplement with small amounts of calf manna, black oil sunflower seeds, or old-fashioned oats. Fresh greens can be offered daily, about one cup per rabbit, with options like romaine or arugula. Treats, including carrots, should be kept to a minimum.

Beyond care, these rabbits are incredibly social and intelligent. They thrive with interaction, enrichment, and routine. Toys, tunnels, and safe playtime outside of their enclosure each day go a long way in keeping them happy. Gentle, consistent handling helps build trust and allows their personality to really shine.

This is a general guide to help you get started, but there are many great resources available if you want to go deeper. Educational videos can be especially helpful for learning grooming techniques, and channels like Country Bumpkins offer useful, easy-to-follow demonstrations.

These are the things that I use on my bunnies. Feel free to take a look and see what works for you.

Rabbit Cage Mats

Small Litter Box - Don't let the ad fool you, it is kinda small for Angora but I use it in addition to the Rooly for when they are adamant about going in a separate corner from the Rooly

Litter Box Liners - a life saver for cleanup. Fits Rooly and smaller.

Stacking Cups

Clippers

Nail Clippers

Slicker Brush - Seems a waste that I use nothing else in this kit but I've tried other slicker brushes and my rabbits don't like them and they tell me immediately (By biting the brush, taking it and throwing it, lol)

Rotating Comb

Rooly Litter Box - (link is non Amazon) Small holes for less hay waste

I didn't include ALLLL the pee pads that I buy because I have so many and I like them all. You can search "washable puppy pads" and pick the size for your set up. Also, if you go the washable pee pad route, get a net bag to wash them in to save your washer from the hay.
