Bunny Shave

Angora bunnies are fantastic. Our little guys are sort of monstrous in behavior (especially Blackula), but who cares? They make up for it in fluffy cuteness.









Wicket is the light brown, and Blackula is the black and grey bunny. They are brothers and a German Giant angora cross. My friend Liz Lemon* and I are raising them for fiber. We found a place that will process the fiber for us, so we can use it for our knitting and crocheting projects.




And here we are clipping them of their coats! They didn't make it an easy job, but the more we do it, the more they'll be used to it.




Haha, terrible, isn't it? But they honestly loved being free of it. They ran around the living room floor, kicking up their heels. In rabbit language, this is a sign of happiness.




We're going to shear them again before we send the wool out for processing. Can't wait to work with it!
