Coat Type and Grooming: Satin Angoras have very long, shiny fur which needs to be groomed at least every few days. It is easier to groom than the other angora breeds, but still requires frequent grooming. A slicker brush and a comb, preferably with rotating teeth, are a must for grooming. A letter opener is good for splitting matts apart. Clippers are a good idea in case the rabbit ever needs to be shaved, such as in very warm weather or when being bred.
