These are English angora bunnies, if you don't have any plans to use their wool, they're way too much work to have around so we don't recommend them as purely pets. By their temperament, they do make lovely pets, but the coat maintenance overshadows that, so they're not recommended to be a pet bunny.
Their coat needs maintenance, generally a weekly 'brushing' with a long toothed steel comb to keep any mats from forming. Their coat also needs to be "harvested" (get a haircut) every three to four months and that wool harvest takes over an hour per bunny. Even though these English angora molt their coats (not all EAs do anymore, it's been bred out of the show bunnies), they need help to do that or the molting fiber gets tangled with the incoming fiber and becomes a mess. However, for several months after they get a haircut they don't need coat maintenance, so if they're kept as a fiber provider they are only high maintenance for part of the time. An angora show coat - where the intent is to keep the fiber on the bunny, is much more maintenance.
There aren't any available bunnies at this time, however, there are three upcoming litters for January, so hopefully there will soon be more baby bunnies.
When there's a new or prospective litter, they will hopefully be noted on the "In the Nest Box" page. Hopefully with pictures of the prospective parents and notes of what we hope from the pairing.
