I have wanted an angora for several years now, but have never actually gotten one, due to worries about the grooming needs. But I'm SOOO tempted to just break down and get one!
Now, I just got Grace about 3 weeks ago, and I already have a large cage (30"x54"), food, water, toys, litter pan, etc. I also have an x-pen to let her run around as well. (I'd let her run free in the house, but the house isn't bunny-proofed, and we have three cats as well. So I do let her run some, but just in protected areas at the moment.) It seems like she might be still adjusting. She doesn't like being held much yet and hates getting her nails trimmed, although she does enjoy being petted. I wonder if it's too soon to get another bunny, especially an angora that requires so much more attention.
But if it's not too soon, what would I need in addition to what I already have? What do you do with the wool? Do you store it or spin it into yarn? Or sell it? Or do nothing and just pitch it?? I know angora wool is a commodity, but I have no idea what I would do with it myself.
Thoughts, please?
