Adult French angoras require cage space measuring at least 30X30 inches. Cages can be purchased in pre-cut 'kits' from cage companies or built from scratch using rolls of correctly sized wire mesh and cage clips. Breeding does require a larger space of 30X36 inches, while bucks are well suited to a 30X30 inch size. I have several stacks of 30X24 inch cages that I often use for weaning. I place 2 babies at a time in each cage of that size, then separate and transfer them to larger cages permanently at 10 weeks of age.

Rabbits should be housed in a building that is draft-free but provides an excellent exchange of air through means of vents or exhaust fans. In warmer areas some breeders rely upon air conditioning units to keep angoras cool and maintain even temperatures for wool growth. Whatever system one chooses for housing one's herd, they must be certain that it provides adequate space per rabbit, good ventilation, and secure protection from rain, snow, and harsh wind.
