Breeding recommendations
- Strict shearing routine prevents overheating under massive coat.
- Very high yields due to large body size (~5 kg).
- Daily grooming essential; dense coat is prone to painful matting.
- Extra-large enclosures required for full movement.
- Yield ~400–800 g per harvest every 90 days.
