The Jersey Wooly Rabbit or Dwarf Angora Rabbit has become extremely popular not only as a show animal, but as an exceptional pet!This little rabbit is noted for being extremely gentle, sweet and docile as well as smart. They are calm, quiet, and easy to care for which makes them an ideal pet for children and adults alike.
The Jersey Wooly Rabbit or Dwarf Angora Rabbit likes people and enjoys being petted, handled, and brushed. Though its long fur makes it a bit more work than a short haired bunny, it needs brushing only about once a month as an adult and just a bit more than that until it looses its baby coat.

The Jersey Wooly Rabbit, known as the Dwarf Angora Rabbit in Europe and Australia, is a newer breed of rabbit. They were developed by Bonnie Seeley of New Jersey (USA) in the 1970's, thus the name.
They were originally developed to produce a long haired pet rabbit with wool that was easy to care for, but today they have also become one of the most popular show rabbits.
Description:
They are a small compact little rabbit, only weighing up
to about three pounds. They have short ears and a wonderful thick long
wool coat that is notable for being very easy to take care of, especially
after the rabbit reaches about six months. The adult coat has more guard
hair than undercoat, so is not prone to matting.
Color differences:
The Jersey Wooly Rabbits or Dwarf Angora Rabbits come in
a variety of colors and patterns including agouti (wild rabbit), self
(one color all over), and shaded patterns. Other nice colors include black,
blue, chocolate, smoke pearl, blue tort, chestnut, pointed white, siamese
sable, and black otter.

| My Jersey Woolies name is Pinky and she is white with red eyes with a pink outline. I love it when I flip her over and hold her like a baby! She's SO cute! Also when I flip her over and I sit her on my lap and she looks straight at me! She is the JOY in my life and she makes me SO happy when I'm sad or angry.

| Hello, I have had my jersey wooly, snowball, for about 2 years now and I absolutly LOVE her! She is very sweet and loves to nibble your fingers. Whenever I come in to feed her, she just hops around and nudges my hand. Snowball is smart too, she knows how to open her cage and get out!(but she always comes back!) Snowball is a joy to have in my life and I am proud to say that she is mine!
