Long famed and desired for their incredibly soft fur or wool, Chu uses scissors to shear 4 her rabbits, never once harming her fluffy 5 friends.

Preparing the rabbits for display is an arduous 8 and delicate task - and Betty uses a special brush and hairdryer that doubles up a vacuum cleaner to give added volume. Her rabbits hair grows back at the rate of one inch a month and she uses the wool that she gets from her rabbits for scarves, hats and gloves.

Indeed, breeding the rabbits is Chu's passion and she doesn't make any money from it and is involved in it purely 9 for the enjoyment 10 she gets from them as pets. Angora rabbits are 'also very lovable, they can be litterbox trained like cats and they would follow owners like dogs,' she said according to The Huffington Post.
饲养这些兔子是Chu的爱好,她只是希望从饲养这些宠物中获得乐趣,而非赚钱。而且安哥拉兔“也十分可爱,它们经过训练后可以像猫一样使用猫砂处理大小便,还可以像狗一样亲人,”她这样和赫芬顿邮报说道。
