在巨型安哥拉兔的养护中，困难的就是毛发。毛发可引发的问题并不只是打结这一种，巨型安哥拉兔容易将毛发误食进胃中，导致巨型安哥拉兔产生毛球症。

The difficulty in maintaining the giant Angora rabbit is its hair. The problem that hair can cause is not just knotting. Giant Angora rabbits are prone to ingesting hair into their stomach, leading to hair ball disease.

如同其它的兔子一样，巨型安哥拉兔需要以大量的干草饲育。从干草中获得的纤维可帮助预防其出现毛发硬块。另外强烈巨型安哥拉兔或其他长毛兔种使用含有少13%纤维的丸状饲料，纤维含量可在饲料袋上的营养成分表中找到。此外脱水还可能导致粪便嵌塞，可提供大量的水及舐盐以促进其饮水。

Like other rabbits, the giant Angora rabbit needs to be fed with a large amount of hay. The fibers obtained from hay can help prevent hair lumps from appearing. Additionally, it is strongly recommended that giant Angora rabbits or other long-haired rabbit breeds use pellet feed containing at least 13% fiber, which can be found in the nutritional composition table on the feed bag. In addition, dehydration may also cause fecal congestion, which can provide a large amount of water and salt to promote drinking water.

因兔子自行梳理时会消化其毛发，故而每90天左右少剪一次毛被认为是防止毛发硬块出现的必要方法。木瓜（杂货店卖的木瓜维他命剂）的膳食补充剂可帮助它们在其消化道中使毛发硬块崩溃。兔子所吞下的毛发不能咳出或呕出，一旦其消化道充满吞下的毛发，将导致其缓慢饿死。如果不做处理，毛发硬块亦会致死。

Due to the fact that rabbits digest their hair when grooming themselves, cutting their hair at least once every 90 days is considered a necessary method to prevent the appearance of hair lumps. The dietary supplement of papaya (a papaya vitamin sold in grocery stores) can help them break down hair lumps in their digestive tract. The hair swallowed by a rabbit cannot be coughed up or vomited, and once its digestive tract is filled with the swallowed hair, it will cause it to slowly starve to death. If left untreated, hair lumps can also cause death.

兔笼中预留宽阔的空间，作为兔子活动及每日放置新鲜、马用干草饲料的空间，这样可帮助兔毛从其消化系统中并防止毛发硬块出现，这种方法为许多巨型安哥拉兔饲养者所广泛使用。

Reserve a wide space in the rabbit cage as a space for rabbit activities and daily placement of fresh and horse hay feed, which can help remove rabbit hair from its digestive system and prevent the appearance of hair lumps. This method is widely used by many professional giant Angora rabbit breeders.

还有一种常用的方法，即在饲料中加入新鲜的菠萝及木瓜，它们所含的凤梨蛋白酶及木瓜蛋白酶可帮助分解（蛋白酶解）体内的毛发硬块，并将其排出兔子的消化系统。

Another commonly used method is to add fresh pineapple and papaya into the feed. The pineapple and papain contained in them can help to decompose (proteolysis) the hair lumps in the body and expel them from the rabbit's digestive system.

另外使其毛发松弛的方法还有：放置一个松果给兔子玩耍。兔子会不停地轻啃、扔出松果，松果就会变成一个兔笼中有效的毛发收集器。当松果被啃坏或沾满毛发时，替换之。

Another way to make its hair loose is to place a pine nut for the rabbit to play with. The rabbit will constantly nibble and throw out pine cones, which will become an effective hair collector in the rabbit cage. When pine cones are gnawed or covered with hair, replace them.
