5.0 out of 5 stars Should definitely read before getting a dwarf bunny, December 24, 2004

By 

Kristian Weller (Southern California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dwarf Rabbits (Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals) (Paperback)

The book's design and photos are very pleasing (& very cute!). The author offers much useful and easy to understand advice. If you're looking into getting a bunny or just became an owner of one, I highly recommend this book because it will make you & your bunny's lives easier. It gives you tips on how to bond with your bunny, what to do and what NOT to do with him/her. I made the mistake of not having read this book before raising my bunny. I did things that I thought were completely normal to do (I have 2 very small dogs & have had many animals before) but were totally inappropriate when it comes to rabbits. Just being caring and loving is not enough. You need to learn to care and love the right way to ensure a happy and enjoyable life for the both of you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Unfortunately I was late!, January 26, 2000

I am sorry that I did not buy this book before I bought my rabbit. I wish I had read it before doing so many mistakes. I recommend you to read this book before buying this lovely creature, at least not to hurt it against your will.

4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent start to learning how to care for your pet., November 13, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Dwarf Rabbits (Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals) (Paperback)

This book is really amazing. It teaches you almost everything you need to know about rabbits, and is very accurate. We bought the book as a guide when we bought our first bunny, and it has really been a fantasic guide. If you are only going to buy one book, make it this one, you will not be disappointed.
