- Record Breaking Rabbits: Angora Bunnies Get Blow-Dried
SUBSCRIBE to the Barcroft network: bit.ly/Oc61Hj
BUNNY breeder Betty Chu is the proud owner of the world's furriest rabbits - whose hair can measure almost 15 INCHES long. The 70-year-old has dedicated the last 34 years to producing prize-winning English angora rabbits. She lives with 50 of them at her home in San Jose, California, and is so dedicated she hasn't holidayed with her husband since 1992. She is the undisputed queen of the angora category, with countless best-in-show awards to her name. But she really hit headlines when her top rabbit Franchesca (ok) entered the Guinness Book of World Records last year as the rabbit with the longest hair in the world - measuring 14.37in.

I’m scared if she left one on a chair someone would sit on them thinking it was a pillow.
Lol
Well errr..... you right! It most be really bad 😱
No pain no gain
Yes I will mistake it for a pillow sadly
This comment gives me anxiety
🤤 the perfect pillow
the rabbit looks confused 99% of the time
Probably because it can't see
iz zo cyootz
You probably would if you you were 96% floof and couldn't see.
What's the 1% then for?
Poor rabbits
Somewhere, that child from Despicable Me is yelling, "IT'S SO FLUFFY!"
I read that as despacito.
I need to go to bed.

Its so fluffy i wanna die!

I can't even commit to showering everyday while this woman brushes her bunnies' fur/ hair everyday..

Everyone showers twice a day in Malaysia
And in Japan
Mom: why are you crying?

Yes, and it’s not funny guys. I like you C I D 👍
*Man she’s got a pet cloud wish I had one!*
Clouds are high maintains
Your profile pic is so cute
Anephyr ?
Buy a pillow
I've met her before! She's probably one of the nicest people in the rabbit showing hobby.
they should trim the hair around their eyes
ikr yes they may not look as good but at least they can actually see
the seem to have shorter hair in the face area 3:23
IIRC, most show dogs with long hair have little clips to hold it out of their eyes in everyday life. I’d hope the rabbits have them too
I agree... But it’s so fat and floofy!
3:52
She can at least cut the hair where their EYES are.
i believe someone said it could be normal for those rabbits to see like that. (its not exactly what they said but idk)
@@shopliftedtiara nope, rabbits eyesight is generally bad but they are very good at spotting small movements, that's what can save their lives in the wild. Imagine you can not see really well and need to rely on your extremely good ability to spot predators and that gets taken away. must be really stressful for the poor buns :(
They're literally born like this they'd be the same in the wild. It's evolution
@@vn8651 it isn't evolution it's selective breeding, and there isn't angora in the wild
@@vn8651 show me a rabbit in the wild whose eyes are completely blocked by hair
"But her boyfriend does not have the...equipment to find her hidden treasure with her long coat. So she has to go naked in order to be sexy." This is the greatest thing that has ever been said on the Internet. Everybody just go home, it's all over now.
CaitieLou ikr its the best way of saying she needs to have a hair cut to have sex
CaitieLou lol so true it's hilarious 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
CaitieLou
CaitieLou HAHAHHA
You copied that from someone >:/
They deffinetly won't be cold for winter
True yea
true dat
hahahaha true!
but summer ......
Sarahsparkle3 Musicly in summer they could die of tempeture
I don't wanna bash her but the cages she uses aren't the best for them, they're all mesh floored which is bad for their back feet
And way too small ;/
Unfortunately this is how people keep show bunnies most of the time, it’s changing a bit now but it’s still prevalent
Facts
Why u need to bash her ?? How about tell her nicely??
@@chhaylong2086 she didn't. she only said, SHE DIDN'T WANT TO BASH HER :/
Imagine if they got lice, or ticks.
*EnJoy TrYiNg To GeT eM oUt*
It’s amazing
Maggot problems in the summer.
A living hell.
No
It's gonna be *SO* hard. But that's why she cleans them everyday
They have wool, though, and not fur. So you could get lice or ticks but I don't know that these rabbits would be the preferred prey. You can shave bunny just as you could shave a sheep, but their skin is very thin and you have to be careful not to cut them. This is where "angora wool" comes from, not sheep. It is from little bunnies getting shaved and their fur spun into yarn. :)
"Unfortunately the boyfriend doesn't have the equipment to find her hidden treasure." LOL
hahaha right...they are coming up short af
super cute
that word play...lol
Lol
James Y lol
The lady has a great personality
true
expected a woman with a huge rack after reading your comment...was disappointed
Yeah she does
k
ruhig_blut lol
Cute rabbits! Not cute cages.
Now it's 258!
I agree that they’re not great but I think it’s just for transporting them to and from shows! They’re outdoor pen is great though!
Actually, they do have small cages permanently nvm it's bad
@@isabella-ky4yq at 0:42 you can see that they're in small cages permanently.
@@mw-cy1zf oh nvm I completely missed that part :( that's not okay for them
same and to groom them use the hair buter
I read this as *"World-Breaking* Rabbits"
no that's just big chungus
Haha
Easily Amused Bastad where can i get one?! I want a World-Breaking Rabbit!!!!
@@lunahetfield Get this man a world-breaking rabbit
Lol... imagine if it did tho
*Throw water on him*
Look how they massacrate my fluffly boi
Zipxim oh bunnies hate water sometimes they could die from water:(
@@honeycombroblox2356 true :/
Rabbits can die if we splash water on them
That would literally massacre that boi forever
i'm so happy she seems to really care about the rabbits. not only the grooming (which is really essential not just for show but for them to function properly and not get diseases) but letting them out to play and handling them carefully... seems like such a wonderful woman.
Haley Goss their feet can handle small mesh, it’s more likely they’d get foot infections if they were on 8inches of dirty substrate.
charlie that mesh is awful for there feet, and can really hurt them
hotdog water if it’s the small mesh, it won’t hurt them, their feet are big and evenly distributes their weight. When kept on wire floors they should have a rest mat and it should be smallest gage wire. I can link you some CZcams videos if you’d like to see rabbits humanely kept on wire floors.
Thora F I’m pretty sure she knows what she’s doing if she’s breeding them and showing them. We have those cages in the poultry world too, they’re for showing, selling and isolation cages when they’re ill. I highly doubt she keeps them in there full time.
that small cage really bugs me. bunny is waaaayyy too big for it. 0:28
cute but...why breed animals so that they have so much fur that they cant move around/see? and in addition to that put them in tiny cages and trancing them which can cause death??
Good point
I was just about to comment about the trancing smh 😞 the rabbits are obviously not bred or kept with their well-being in mind
I think the cages are just for transporting them
@@sanguineuphoria599 look at 0:42
peach waffle oh dang I missed that scene. Thanks for pointing it out
We keep our French Angoras in the house. OH MY GOODNESS THAT FLUFF GETS EVERYWHERE. I had no idea. You would think that the fluff would stay on the rabbit, because the rabbit stays fluffy. Well, the rabbits stay fluffy, but the house gets fluffy, too! We love our bunnies though, and French Angoras are not active rabbits. They might hop around the room a few times but mostly they will just sit next to you and lick your arm. They are like fluffy warm basketballs, and their fur is VERY soft. They like to be petted from their little foreheads down to their ears especially. They do not come over when they are called like dogs, but if they see you they'll come over to greet you and get petted because they love you.
*Am I the only one who feels bad for the rabbit?*
No
Why would you feel bad for the rabbit?
@@theepettyproductions9530 because they can't see.
Yes.. their cages are so cramp too
I wanna be the rabbit....
I WANT TO TOUCH THE FLUFFY BUNNY
YOU MEAN HUG IT ☺️😍
I want it as my pet! It looks like a big fluffy cloud pillow!😂😂😁😁😁😃😃😃😃😂😂😂😍😍😍😍😍😙😙😙😘😘😘😚😚
Cookie Cat girl no that's his I see you
Puppygamer852 yea xD
God when I saw the thumbnail I was like holy crap look at the size of that cotton ball 😂😂😂
I met her at the 96th ARBA Convention this year. She is so sweet and nice! Also, Her Bunnies are absolutely Gorgeous!! 💗😍
Can you send me her address? I have been looking for her for 8 years. Please help me
Rabbit: My breathes are shallow, I cannot jump, I can only sit here and be brushed.
Me: chunky boi c:
Rabbit: My physical form is a prison.
Me: cloud boi!!! ☁️ ☁️
I like em big. I like em chunky
Rabbit: DID U JUST CALLED ME FAT???
This comment should be pinned lol
Rabbit: Every morning I break my arms, every evening I break my legs

I showed my mom this video she said "is that a walking cloud" I laughed for so long
Flfl. Is. A. Good
Lol that's cute
Tala Aljaber funny
wow i love your mom now
Nah, that's my brother
It must be so hot and heavy for those rabbits. :c Cute but I would give them a trim.
The real question is
*how does the rabbit looks when he's wet..?*
A moppe
Like a rat, at least mine does.
@@yoshidex64 why would you wet them?
@@bnnyhlp952 So I can clean him better.
@@yoshidex64 so your bunny doesn't clean itself?
Nah, that's a cloud
Lol Army
ARMY!😂
lmao
It looks like a goat
No. It's cotton candy
I just want to hug them!!
Jaime Reynolds I want to eat them
They stink. Imo
I see you comment every where
I want to fu- love them!
Hey Jaime and I know the bun buns are so cute and fluffy :3
I am a dog and cat groomer and am extremely impressed with her ability!
That rabbit looks miserable
just a question how? not a expert but what should i expect for them so say ''yay im happy''
@@Jade-zw5ge they can barely see, can barely move, the heat acumulates in its fur so if it's not constantly being ventilated it could have a heat stroke and die (thing that can also happen to long furred dogs on hot regions). These rabbits are literally being inbred to have a potent fur gene and it can cause a lot of trouble to their health
Oh thankyou for that info
@@HanakkoLove and they are kept in pretty bad conditions :(
Ik she shouldn’t force them to grow their hair
Just imagine all the poop getting stuck in that fur...
Rabbits poop little pellets, so I don't think so.
Flora Posteschild I actually used to have a bunny with long-ish fur (nothing like this, though) and let me tell you, it was messy...
The pellets aren't always firm, especially when fresh.
they eat it again anyway
saskewoo if you see they poop, you can't clean it straight away, they have to eat it again so they can digest properly for the second round of digestion or else they'll get sick. If you know, then that's good! :)
Miroshie Ng > That is disgusting!
Fluffy... Chungus?
Cringe lololol
Furry chungus for the Nintendo DS!
Basically.
I got it on searching ,big chungus song.
Well yes but actually no.
Dose anybody else notice the poor conditions that the rabbits are living in?And that she only breeding them for metals and records?
in fact, it's terrible. Poor animals
It’s terrible tbh
Give it that but she tends to them every day and hasn't left them alone but the fact is that they let her harvest the fur bamboozles me
@@herzen9857 she makes a living off of them. at least people who use pets commercially should know how to properly keep them. I'm astonished at the loose animal laws you guys have
Still better than hundreds who dumped their pets in the streets just to suffer. Worst of all, you poor thing do nothing about that but instead decide to "bully" this lady because that makes you look better.
2:31 The buck couldn’t find her bits under all that fur 😂😂
Absolutely hilarious and unfortunate poor buns 😔🤣🤣🤣
"She has to go naked in order to be sexy." Omg yes I approve.
This should be for women period for get clothes and makeup just go naked in public to be sexy I approve that.
+MrRednexus i dont think most women wanna do that XDD
Really though where is the bunny, I only see..... *FLUFF*! o.o 🐇
Rosie Brown up your ass xd
Equay Gaming ...
Queen of Everything art on Sketch just a prank
O-o
Lol 😆
SHE
UTS THE RABBIT UPSIDE DOWN every bunny owner should know that that’s a now go and look at the small cages they are in I feel so bad
Rabbits are fine upside down at rabbit shows they turn them upside down for heaven sakes clearly you haven’t been to one
Her : u have to do if carefully.
Also her : *trances rabbit*
Ok, how did this lady get pet clouds, i want one
I guess there is now a thing called, "the rabbit lady" rather than cat lady XD
sounds better than crazy cat lady but I presume it's probably the same XD
That's what I was thinking, except this lady has a husband.
kyle0091000 cat lady is true w
May I join the competition? My garden is 600 yards ( most people have large gardens since I live in the Isle of Man with greenery everywhere ) and it's basically home to my five rabbits! I want to make sure I DO NOT breed my rabbits and I get them neutered and vaccinated and I take rescues in from my local shelter - the MSPCA - and I had 8 a while ago, but one passed on as he was in his last days, and the other two I re-homed to a kind lady who had owned rabbits before :)
kyle0091000 lol
They are just the cutest! I can’t even imagine how soft they are
I’m surprised no one has made a chungus joke
It's so fluffy I'm gonna die
same
Me too!! So cute
+isaaclikesturtles No chill xDD
+Eztli Ixtli fluttershy's bunny angel
+Lilly Nguyen Are you gonna invite us to your funeral?
you can have pet clouds now !
Puddles yes
Good dog
YES :D
Betty Chu is taking excellent care of these beautiful rabbits.
Aww, poor little baby. I get the appeal, but c'mon, little man can't even do basic things.
I would probably mistake it for a pillow.
That just looks uncomfortable for the rabbit tbh.
nah rabbit has terrible eyesight so this has little to no effect on them
09934 22134 he means the fur. It’s quite hot to have a lot of fur.
@@toantruonghuu2833 LMAO what are you talking about?! Rabbits have amazing eye sight they're supposed to! They're prey animals. I honestly feel like the long hair makes them have poor eye sight
@@Latino_Burrito it's like the cats that get their nail removed,while terrible they are safe
@@Sunkem1Not6Hacks Except you know why cat claw removal is so frowned upon? Because in reality they don't just remove the claw, but an entire toe segment with the joint. Fur like that is uncomfortable, sure, but it's not mutilation
Who let the clouds out?
Something feels off about her. I feel this lady is more interested in being in the Guinness book of record, the prizes and the rabbit shows then the rabbits.
Of course it’s all a joke to her, she probably called to be here 🤣
*ITS SO FLUFFY IM GONNA DIE!!!*
That's what I say when I brush my brother's fluffy hair
Rede o is it a lionhead breed? I use to have those, but they died sadly, one was sick the other died becoz it was in a cage with another rabbit, and he unfortunately died of starvation
@@sarahjangard5388 Same
Don't they get heat strokes? Their fur is twice the size as them
I'm sure she takes good care of them. I'm sure that when it's hot, they're in air conditioning. There's no way she wouldn't, she clearly loves her rabbits.
Well it's white so won't get that hot and it's a lot of area to get rid of heat
+Britany Cheung As a former show breeder myself (I raised Mini Rex and Californians) I can almost guarantee you that she has an air conditioner for her rabbits. These rabbits are worth a lot of money and she clearly takes very good care of them. Her rabbits are always winning shows and they can not compete if they are not as healthy and stress free as possible.
+rachelle2227 Have you seen the movie Carrie? You can love something a whole lot and still treat it poorly.
+Sofie and Paris Though I guess they breeded those rabbit for them to have a very long fur... Not sure if the were like that in the wild ( my guess)
the rabbit when its summer: starts melting
The bunnies don’t seem very happy...
Those poor things. Once again an example of humans causing animals to suffer for our own benefit.
oh dammit she ain't killing them she doing her job
exactly my thoughts while watching this... this is sickening...
These animals are being groomed, fed, exercised and cared for medically. These sweet things are in better shape than most pet rabbits or wild rabbits.
+ScarsFromTomorrow Im not a big fan but she does groom them everyday and has the resources to care for them.
I agree although she is feeding the am and stuff but did you see the size of their cages and being the size that they are I can't imagine that being helpful
IT LOOKS LIKE A SNOW BALL 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
IKR xD
Little Fox😁
No.. a cloud
Little Fox lol it's looks like fluff ball
2:26 - 2:41. That part was so hilarious 😂
I have a 20 pound bunny and she is so gentle i love her (she is a flemish giant btw she isnt just fat lol)
massage and pamper all day. be fluffy. eat. sleep. poo. eat. be fluffy. all day spa. be fluffy. forever. or how ever long you live if you are a fluffy rabbit.
+Jesse Coyote rofl
+Jesse Coyote And live it that tiny tiny cage!? Okay sometimes she brings them to the yard (the bunnies, not milkshakes) but still... She's doing everything else right but those cages...... ;___;
+Imonai04 dat milkshake do
Imonai04 those cages are pretty much the norm for all domestic bunbuns! and they likely do not spend 24/7 in those. she is very good to those angoras and believe me, they are very content.
+Jesse Coyote Exactly. Those bunnies are so relaxed around her it's obvious she loves them and treats them like gold. She's clearly just using the cage to transport them.
Who would win?
A nice old lady
Or...
One fluffy boi
Bloody Rouge fluffy boi
Nice lady
Bloody Rouge They work together :)
Dad Music wholesome 😄💚
Or fluffy girl^ 🤔
Me: **sees bunny**
Me 5 seconds later:

Imagine walking into her house and that started jumping at you 😂 ☁️
i had a rabbit like this one... we had to shave around his butt hole so he can be less messy
Omg 😂
Urdu Jokes LOL!
That means he had medical problems and people think it is funny I cannot believe people!
Crunchy Slushīe it's not funny it's sad becaus the bunny had health issues!!
Is it not raining there already?? Theres huge clouds everywhere !!
jsschill05 ...real clouds Are More Huge Than That Bunny xD
xXBunnyBoy GamerXxYT bruh.
So they need to cry?
IT'S SO FLUFFY I'M GONNA DIE!!!
Oml did she just put the rabbit on his back??? That‘s so bad for them they could easily get a heart attack and the cages are WAY to small. And these rabbits are really poor I feel so bad I even cried
hey you are correct but with angoras its different angoras are a very different rabbit breed and are not ever in the wild, they have also been bred for their furs and handled so much that they actually can be on their back. Its not ideal but angora won't die or go into shock from it ! :)
It’s a snow poff.
And this... Is a snow poff.
This, however, is a snow poff.
Surprisingly, it’s s snow poff.
Snow poff...
Is it really a snow poff?

This rabbit reminds me of the dog from that cartoon "2 stupid dogs" 😂😂 he looks just like 1 of them. His eyes were covered too adorable
Those poor rabbits, this is selective breeding gone too far. It seems like a miserable existence.
oh my God , they re so adorable , I never see the rabbits like that before
Wait what rabbit ?I only see floof
It looks like a cloud with a face.
You can barley even see the face 😂
:"(
🎶” and I put it in a bun…. Put it in a bun ….”🎶 🤣🥰
I really need to give that bunny a boop.
Cut around their eyes so they can see better
Tina Q or shave them so they can live
This is just a show coat. They usually only have this giant coat for a few months during show season. They they are shorn down so they can be happy buns, and regrow their coats for the coming season. Show buns don't live this coat 24/7. Pet and homestead quality angoras don't have these giant coats, so they don't have issues seeing. Show quality are the only ones that have they enormous coats, but only during the show season.
She genuinely loves her rabbits and all, but some of the stuff is kinda bad. Early on in the video there are wire floor cages, which can give them painful sores on their feet. It's bad for them to be flipped onto their backs, and you should never pick up a rabbit by the ears. It hurts them.
Other than that your rabbits are amazingly amazing and fluffy and I love them and you do an amazing job!😄
Gavvy Klo I’m pretty sure she picked them up by the scruff of their neck. This causes no harm :)
their feet will not but hurt by wires if you leave them fluffy. its okay for angoras
@@Bicth97 Do your research, it hurts ALL bunnies feet.
@ggukz 97 Still, not good for their feet no matter what circumstances there are
ggukz 97 did you pay attention to 0:42 at all?? any rabbit website ever will tell you that the myth about angoras being ok is just a myth, and that no matter HOW you put it, that's not. enough. space. for. a rabbit. there's nothing wrong with the rest of the video, i just believe that's she needs to at least get a little dog pen for them, something 4 by 4 feet.
"Yep. You are all looking at a living cloud."
Wish I could play with clouds everyday.
Seems like a calm and peaceful existence.
I got allergies just by watching this.
I wanted to sneeze 😅
oh yeah well your a kitsune/furry
Ball of fluff. Literally.
Plot Twist:it's actually just an alive snowball,that's also really really big
Wow, I didn’t know clouds could be pets.
What do you call these rabbits?
Clouds!
TheTigerZoey EAs
no they real life club penguin puffles
Nimbus rabbits
Angora Rabbits
*NO* they're my brother
I lost it when she said "find her treasure in the long coat." Good god hahahahaha 2:30
She is a real lady.
My heart is literally broken looking at the horrible conditions of these poor bunnies 😭😭😭😭😭
She weird .........
Playing with clouds 👀☁️☁️
Now THAT'S fluffy...
Gabrielle Jarmin my rabbits name is fluffy but now anymore....
this will be me as an old woman
these rabbits are so fluffy like cotton candy its so cyute
the way they move 💀
all this fur is uncomfortable for them to move, and she sees them only as trophies, and i quote " i put him in any kind of position which is convenient for me to groom him"
Jesus I hope they have bigger cages than that.. lord
Prolly not. People like this treat their animals like objects. Just things to look pretty or act a certain way.
Those look like show or travel cages.
My rabbit is trained like a cat or dog. Litter box.. no cage.. free run 24/7. Best house pet I ever had. Animal that’s literally built to run, hate seeing them locked up
relax dude
The small ones are definitely travel cages
This woman would be my best friend. She is so cute and dedicated to her rabbits and she clearly loves them. I love at the end, "no way, I would bring , my rabbits with me."
That pillow THO
how do they poop without their fur all brown?
Ashley Howell Good question. I think rabbit feces is quite hard and dry. So it does presumably not stick to the fur. Their pee on the other hand is a different story...
Evolved Rabbit I'm not eating chocolate covered raisins again...
Learn To Draw They dont poop like you/us humans. Think before you post anything
Ye see, people would say they poop out pellets, eh?
Oi not quite exactly, not always.
Ye see, these guys also poop out mushy, pellet shaped bits. These can be squashed if a bunny sits on 'em. I have washed my rabbit a few times because o'that.
Evolved Rabbit Thanks for ruining me... I was just eating Chocolate Covered Raisins XD :(
I want one!!! Soooooooo cute!!!
me 2 so kawai
U cant just want one its not a fucking object its a being with a soul ffs
+gross peanuts fucking chill
no just stop you can't even take care of your own hair
I am "chill" u need to get off me.
Her: "The boyfriend does not have the equipment to find her hidden treasure"
Me: 😳
How did NO ONE notice this but us?!?!?!?! 😳🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
They're so fluffy I could die! 🥰🐰
i bet you can make a sweater with all the extra fur from brushing them ☺️
Angora Rabbit yarn is a thing btw.
Iwas thinking the same
Dang, OwO thats warm
kay b that will be fluffy as hell
