We thought we would introduce our rabbit Florence who has on a few occasions been mistaken for a cat with a short tail and long ears, yes she is a rabbit but extremely furry. She takes about an hour to groom and is referred to as a "high maintenance rabbit" not because she likes rich food and high living but because of her long fur she needs to be groomed regularly or she would become very matted and her coat would get very tangled. She was a rescue rabbit and before she came to live with us was a much loved family pet. For personal reasons Florence ended up in the rescue and it is always very difficult to home a long haired bunny as you need to ensure that they will receive the special care required. If you are considering a long hair rabbit please give lots of thought to the time you need to spend on grooming and keeping their coat in good condition.
