🎾Toys and enrichment for a Angora: chew, dig, binky

Angora : Choose smooth wooden or wicker toys: rope or fabric toys snag the wool and create mats. Short-pile snuffle mats are still usable if you inspect them regularly.

In short: Between 2.5 and 4 kg as an adult, very long woolly coat, calm and docile temperament. A calm, docile rabbit that copes well with long grooming sessions, provided it is used to them early on. Its woolly coat demands daily brushing without exception and a full grooming kit: this is the highest-maintenance rabbit of all.

Chewing: a physiological need

In the Angora as in every rabbit, teeth never stop growing: raw chew wood (apple, hazel), hay balls and woven mats act as natural files far more than toys. Replace them once gnawed — a rabbit without wood attacks skirting boards and cables.

Digging, tossing, exploring

The Angora’s calm does not switch off its curiosity: a tunnel, a digging corner and two or three hideouts give its outings texture. Hidden-food games (hay in a cardboard roll, pellets in a snuffle mat) put its excellent nose to work.

Daily free time, no exceptions

Open the pen at least four hours a day: a Angora needs that free time in a proofed room (sleeving on cables, plants out of reach). Free time is when a rabbit shows its true behaviours: binkies, sprints, exploration.
