This is by far the best book I've read on feeding rabbits correctly. The information is geared towards those breeding rabbits for show and meat production.

I highly recommend this book to those who are raising rabbits commercially and are interested in increased production and health of the rabbit herd. The information given is very useful for eliminating guesswork and confusion about what to feed for best desired results.

I do not think this would be useful to pet rabbit owners.

Peter R. Cheeke has done a terrific job in condensing his and a great deal others' research into a book that serious rabbit breeders will consult for generations to come.

It must be noted that this book is not going to be an easy read for many people - particularly non-native English-speakers. Still, it is worth every effort you will make for this is the best available source of detailed information resulting from years of painstaking research.

Serious raisers will likely also want to subscribe to a bi-monthly internet publication at prma.org and to Rabbit Habit Weekly at rabbitfarming.com.

Two other books make excellent companions to Rabbit Feeding & Nutrition - Rabbit Production; Rabbit Farming Manual (available only direct from publisher at rabbitfarming.org).

Cheeke was a co-author on Rabbit Production.

Again, Rabbit Feeding & Nutrition is a must read for commercial rabbit producers.
