So I've been bitten by the farm animal bug  but the city rules are that ya have to have 5 acres min to keep a goat or sheep  . I'm hoping to maybe get an angora rabbit then to learn to spin natural fibers to knit with. I'd rather have a mini sheep, but I don't know if there is such a thing, so I thought I would get some thoughts from you gals on what animal to get if I'm interested in getting into natural fibers. Any thoughts?

I've heard of people raising texel guinea pigs for fiber. They're so cute. Angora bunnies are too.
