5.0 out of 5 stars If You Own A Rabbit, You Must Have This Book, May 15, 2000
By S. Antico (Southern California USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book should be mandatory for rabbit owners. I found the information to be extremely useful, from what food to feed them to what symptoms indicate what illnesses. You'll learn why rabbits behave the way they do and how to keep your rabbit safe and happy.

Some of the chapters weren't relevant to me because I was not raising a show rabbit. I wasn't interested in the information about breeding, breeds, etc. but it was interesting nonetheless.

The first time my rabbit was ill, I panicked and that's what prompted me to buy the book. Fortunately, he had just eaten too much grass and was fine by the next day. I referred to this book countless times in my rabbit's 9 years.

If you own a rabbit, buy the book. It's interesting reading and will put your mind at easy when your rabbit isn't feeling well. You can teach your kids how to properly care for their bunnies which will add to your enjoyment and will help you ensure your bunny is with you for many years.

One word of advice: hide the book from your rabbit. Rabbits love to chew on just about everything!

4.0 out of 5 stars Thinking about buying a rabbit? This book's for you!, October 4, 1997
By A Customer
If you're thinking about buying a rabbit, this is a good choice for an all-around reference book. Covering topics about housing, feeding, rabbit health, breeding, and different breeds. A must for first-time rabit owners.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Helpful Secondary Book For Rabbit Care, October 16, 2003
By Timothy Kearney (Hull, MA United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This particular book has not been the most helpful rabbit care book for me, not because of the content, but because it seems to focus more on keeping outdoor rabbits rather than indoor rabbits. It also assumes that rabbit care is the top priority of those who keep rabbits. Most of us, who keep rabbits as house pets do not have the time to hunt and gather the food the author suggests. We buy hay and pellets at the local pet store and provide a few fruit slices as a treat. However, this book is helpful. For one thing it lists poisonous plants as well as edible food that rabbits enjoy. Since rabbits always seem to find a way to eat something they are not supposed to eat (I paid $436 in vet bills when my Dutch decided to eat a calla lily), information about keeping rabbits out of mischief and appropriate food is helpful. The book is also illustrated and contains wonderful plates identifying certain breeds of rabbits as well as description of various breeds.

Probably the greatest strength of this book is that it takes rabbit care seriously, just as one would care for a dog or cat. Its major flaw is that it is now a bit dated. I would recommend this book as a secondary handbook and since it is not too expensive, it is worth having on the shelf.
