He started it all. I saw and add on Craigslist and begged by husband to let me get him. My husband had bad experiences with an ex-girlfreind that thought it would be a good idea to get a couple of rabbits and let them run around the apartment and didn't littler box train them. He reluctantly agreeded as long as he didn't have to deal with the poop. I told everyone, I was just going to get one rabbit. They would look at me and say, "uhuh." Everyone but me knew that Benzo was just the start.
I had a long held fantasy about raising Angora Rabbits and spinning their coats into wonderful fiber.
I got the only book I could find from the farm store on rabbits. It covered much on raising meat rabbits and said very little about these fuzz balls known as Angoras.
I bought the biggest rabbit cage that local pet store had and went and picked up Benzo. Little did I know that Angoras coats and litter don't mix well together. I had to purchase another cage from amazon.com
I out right stole his name from Amy of Knitty.com- however it wasn't just because I liked the name. Grooming him and watching him made me feel like I was on a great benzo with no- ill side effects (except eating a bit of hair). I figured naming the bunnies after different types of drugs was an easy way to stick with a theme. I am sure the other breeders will thing I am strange.
Benzo is a fixed Buck. That is another story I will tell about how that happened.
I have recently added Satin Angoras to my heard. They are easier care and shinny. English will always be my primary but I do love the shinny nature of the satins.
