Sometimes people ask me don't our bunnies spoil their wool when we allow them to do things. No, not at all.

They have proper wood floors in the cages. We use pellets to cover and protect the floor. Actually we use horse bedding straw pellets. They are bigger size than pellets for small animals like guineapigs and rabbits. But horse bedding pellets are much more cheaper and sold in bigger bags (500kg). If you can store one, why not to save.

Straw pellets are good and more eco-friendly than peat or wood chips / sawdust. The pellets break down to "powder" but this powder is easy to clean from angora rabbits' wool. It may cause a panic when you see them covered by it but it really is not a problem. They love to dig it and jump all over it. But usually it just drops down and doesn't get attached to the fur. If they have had some fun there might be more dirt in the hair; then we just brush the bunnies. But usually we just use the natural method. We put the bunnies outside and let the FunnyJumping and Wind to do the job. Ta-dah, after 30 minutes there is no any kind of dust in the wool. On the video you see how it works. :)

PS. Notice how easily we have merged several smaller bunny outdoor fences. We just leave one wall of six without the fence and connect the fence to the other. It forms out tunnel styled outdoor fence. You can continue this tunnel forever... or form it out again... or move it to another place... or make again several smaller if needed. Very practical and actually cheap.
