Coat Type and
Grooming
The
coat is long and dense. It is slightly
coarse, so does not mat as easily as
many other long-haired breeds. Young
rabbits require more grooming as their
coat is softer and matts more easily.

Breed
From Amber, PA American Fuzzy's can be very nice or can be very skiddish! I like these
rabbits because they have a attitude that often changes which is why I like
them. I have noticed that grapes make them sick so I rarely give them grapes! I
just started breeding them about a year ago! Other than their tempers changing
they are very nice and can make good pets!
