English Angora mommy

[Puffbaby]

I am new to the forum and love all of the amazing info on here from all you experienced bunny moms! I have been working with a reputable English angora breeder and in two months will be bringing home my baby. The breeder just recently had a very small litter of 2 and I have sent my deposit to get first pick. I attached pics so you all can see the hairless puff babies. They are two days old in the pics. I am beyond excited and haven’t decided which I want yet. I’m going to wait about a month to choose once their hair grows a bit and I can better see what the colors are going to be. I am curious as to litter pan options for a full coat angora. Like should there be a grate in the litter pan so droppings go thru or no. (I’m already getting everything I need for him/her. )

Oh my gosh!  SO cute.  Welcome!  I am a bit new here on this website, and also new to having a rabbit myself.  I have a lionhead dwarf bunny.  So she also has some long fur, but of course not as long as an angora’s fur will be. 
Sirius has a litter pan with a grate on it, and her fluffy little bottom stays clean!  Thank goodness.  I would 100% invest in a litter pan with a grate.  Also, heads up, litter pans need to be cleaned so much more often than I originally thought….  Lol.  I clean Sirius’s probably every other day, or every two days at most.

Make sure you get your bunny a brush too!  And since it’ll have such a long fur, I would also look into and purchase some bath products.  Obviously not water ones, as rabbits shouldn’t be bathed in water unless absolutely necessary and nothing else works, but there are some powder pet bath products, ones specifically for bunnies, on the market.  As I sit and try to think ahead for you, I think it would be a good idea to get this as you experiment with what kind of litter box your rabbit will have/will take a liking too!  Just in case her backside gets messy. 

Welcome again!  I’ll be excited to see your baby bun when she comes home.(:
