Jersey Wooly RabbitDwarf Angora RabbitFamily: Leporidae
Latest Reader Comment - See More Oops, I didn't look close enough and actually only Nikki, especially being European bred, doesn't appear to be a Jersey Wooly (the others could definitely be!) Colette The Jersey Wooly Rabbit has become extremely popular, not only as a show animal, but as an exceptional pet!Jersey Wooly Rabbit Contents A very small bunny, an adult Jersey Wooly Rabbit will only weigh up to about three pounds. This little rabbit is noted for being extremely gentle. They are sweet and docile, as well as smart. The Jersey Wooly Rabbit likes people and affection. It enjoys companionship and being petted and handled.They are calm, quiet rabbits that are pretty easy to care for. All these great qualities make an ideal pet for children and adults alike. Though its long fur makes it a bit more work than a short haired bunny, the Jersey Wooly enjoys being brushed. It only needs brushing about once a month as an adult. It will need just a bit more than that when it is young, until it looses its baby coat. Known as the Jersey Wooly Rabbit in the United States, this rabbit is also known as the Dwarf Angora Rabbit in Australia and Europe. It was developed by Bonnie Seeley of New Jersey (USA) in the 1970's.

Click For Replies (1) Hi. Can you please explain the difference between a "Jersey Wooley Rabbit" and a "Angora Rabbit". Sounds like you know your rabbits.... | ||
I just got my first Wooly Rabbit and his name is charley. I've had rabbits before but, this is the sweetest one i have ever owned. He is also very curious and likes to sit in my lap to be petted. Woolies are wonderful pets.

We raise Jersey woolies in Snohomish Washington. Jersey woolies make great pets and are fun to show. We currently specialize in the tan and agouti colors. http://www.machiasirws.com/mlwrabbitry.html

I have a jersey wooly and he is great! I love him! Nikki looks like a lion head, though mixed. She is cute though!

We have a rabbit that is 4 years old and he is light brown with dark brown ears. We bought him at a pet shop. We do not know what type of rabbit he is. He is very very agreesive, he attacks me when I come into the room. I have to bring a towel to shoo him away and he bites and jumps at the towel and believe it or not makes growling noises too. He was spayed when he was about a year old. He weighs about 3lbs. I say he looks like a lion when he sits because of the hair around his neck, but when I look at the pictures for the jersey wooly he looks simuliar to that as well. His name is becker (hence the tv show because of his crankiness).

These are definitely not jersey woolies, at the most maybe a mix...they are most likely purebred or mixed breed lionheads. Lionheads do not have to have extremely long or thick manes as stated in previous comments, as their mane tends to fall out once they are a certain age (depends on the individual rabbit). This is a genetic and American breeders have not yet "fixed" it. Mane length and thickness can differ from lionhead to lionhead and is largely affected by its ancestry and whether it is a double mane gene or single mane gene bun. Some lionheads appear to have almost no mane at all even though they may carry the gene. Even though all these rabbits are really cute (and both lionheads and jersey woolies are both great breeds!) these are definitely not jersey woolies unless they've been shaved down or something.
