How to clean angora rabbit wool off of your furniture

A ton of people ask me "How in the world do you keep your house clean with that fluff-ball running around 24/7? Is your furniture covered in fluff?!" The answer is: Yes, my furniture is covered in fluff, LoL. But, it is very easy to clean off, although lots of people would tell you that it isn't. (The breeder that I got Buster from said it would be impossible to live with an angora as a housebunny for this reason.)

Thanks for the advice!

Is your bunny house trained, does he have a litter box? Any advice for someone trying to house train a new pet angora?

Sorry I haven't replied sooner, I was out of town! Yes, Mr. Kiddo is litter-trained. The only "litter" problem we have is that it tends to stick in his wool. We solve most of that problem by using pelleted recycled newspaper. We also keep an old towel spread under most of his boxes to help minimize litter spread. Another thing you can do to help is keeping your bun's wool on the bottom of his/her back feet trimmed, and the bottom/backend area. It doesn't have to be very short, just trimmed

note to self: Don't get these as a pet unless I feel like chasing bunny wool all day, every day. lol =)

I let it build up for the past 3 months or so--but yeah, I have to sweep the hard floors at least every other day and spot-sweep the living room carpet at least twice a week, LoL But luckily, I like cleaning, it calms me down, LoL. :-)
