Care & health
Setup, routines, and health considerations
Care overview
Giant Angora rabbit care is wool-first and size-second. It combines the coat demands of angoras with the logistics of a very large rabbit.
Environment & space
They need roomy housing plus clean, low-debris environments so wool stays manageable and doesn’t collect dirt.
Daily routine
Daily routines often include coat checks, keeping wool clean, and managing friction areas where mats start—especially around legs and underside.
Health sensitivities
Higher risk of mat-related skin issues and wool ingestion if grooming slips. Large size also increases heat and foot-care sensitivity.
Grooming / coat
Heavy wool coat with very high grooming demands and frequent maintenance.

Background
Developed to put true angora wool on a much larger frame than most wool breeds. It was bred for both size and wool presence, making it stand out among long-coated rabbits.
