Why is matted fur stuck on the bottom of the hutch bad for bunnies?
Clean the hutch more often. Scoop out soiled litter and any messes every day or two. Wash the cage entirely twice a year or more often, if necessary. By "if necessary," that means looking at the cage and deciding if it's gross and dirty and needs cleaning.Brush the rabbit more often. Rabbits moult a few times a year, and then you have to brush it. If you have a long-haired rabbit, it may need daily brushing. If you don't brush the rabbit when it's moulting, it could ingest too much fur - like cats, rabbits lick themselves clean, so they can get furballs; however, unlike cats, rabbits can't vomit, so a big furball can be deadly. Also, the fur will get all over the place and make a mess of the hutch.Ask yourself: is the hutch big enough? A rabbit needs room to hop and jump and stretch out. The hutch should include some toys or play structures, and a litter box. Using a litter box is a good way to keep the hutch clean. If the rabbit feels cramped, it won't groom itself properly, and you'll end up with matted fur (and a bored rabbit!).See the related questions below for more info, and links.

How is Angora fur produced?
Angora fur is produced in Europe, Chile, China and the United States. Harvesting occurs up to four times a year (about every 4 months) and is collected by plucking, shearing, or collection of the molting fur. Most breeds of Angora rabbits molt with their natural growth cycle about every four months. Many producers of the fiber pluck the fur of these breeds. Plucking is, in effect, pulling out the molted fur. Plucking ensures a minimum of guard hair, and the fur is not as matted when plucked as when it is collected from the rabbit's cage. However, plucking a rabbit is time consuming, so some producers shear the rabbit instead. While this results in slightly lower quality fleece as the guard hairs are included, it does take less time and results in more fleece. Also, not all breeds of angora molt, and if the rabbit does not naturally molt, it cannot be plucked. German angoras do not molt. Source: wikipedia/angora fur
