	Angora Rabbits
		Angora rabbits are a nice match for the gardener who also enjoys home-grown crafting because they are gentle pets who provide useful products for the garden and the gardener.
		Angoras were known in England by 1708 and in France by 1723, where they became an important source of fiber for the fiber industry for the next 250 years.
		Angoras were imported to the United States in the late 1920's and a small commercial industry developed that lasted for a while, but farmers were unable to support themselves on rabbits alone because it is such a labor intensive business.

		A rabbit with good balance looks good almost any way it sits from pretty much any angle, but a rabbit that lacks balance looks awkward, and you find yourself wishing when you looked at it that it had more height, depth, or roundness, etc. etc, making the concept a very difficult thing to define.

	Spang Angora Rabbitry: Woolblock Stuff:) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Since wool is indigestible and a rabbit cannot vomit it out, a mass develops in the stomach eventually preventing food from passing into the intestine so that the rabbit basically starves to death.
		When coats are held over for an extended show season or angoras are harvested by plucking rather than clipping the likelihood of this condition increases since the coat gets left on until the full-blown molt occurs.
		I heard of one breeder who performed necropsies on several of the rabbits in her herd and realized that some angoras have a larger opening leading to the intestine than others, which lead her to believe that susceptibility to woolblock was genetic.

		Taking care of any Angora rabbit, whether it lives indoors or not, is a very serious business and a lot of hard work.
		An Angora rabbit is ready to "pluck," or groom, when it begins to molt.
		Remember that because Angoras ingest some of their wool while grooming, they need an ample supply of Timothy (not alfalfa) hay every day, along with a good quality rabbit food (I feed Heinold wool formula), and a bowl of clean water (I find that bottles don't provide enough liquid, fast enough).
