Rabbits

Nov 3rd, 2007 by Jenn

**Our Rabbits **

(We have Angora/French Lop Bunnies for sale - drop us a line if your interested)

DSC03313 “Sassy Red” - Red Satin Angora (female)

DSC03313“Walter” - Harlequin French Lop (Male)

DSC04320 “Alberta” - ?/Rex Mix (Female)

DSC05080 “Monster” - Angora/French Lop (Male)

DSC04999“Angel” - Angora/French Lop (Female)

DSC04999 “Murtle” - Pedigree Angora (Female)

DSC04999 “Manson” - Pedigree Angora (Male)

DSC04320  We built some new cages - the female cages have drop in floor nest boxes that I can pull out if needed. I love the new cages!

**How to Spin Satin Angora**

Use a Light Spindle so you can watch what is happening with each twist and draft. Take 3/4 ounce wool blended with 1/4 ounce angora. Spin with lots of twist. Take 1/2 ounce wool blended with 1/2 ounce angora. Spin with lots of twist. Take 1/4 ounce wool blended with 3/4 ounce angora. Spin with lots of twist. Next thing you know you are spinning 100% angora. with a lot of twist. Avoid blending with Super wash wool.

***Did you know?***

You can tell a rabbit’s age (roughly) by looking at it’s teeth? If the rabbit is very young, the teeth may be semi-transparent. A young adult would have white teeth and on an older adult, the teeth would be horn-colored.
