5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Rabbit Book You Can Buy for the $$!, August 18, 2000

This review is from: The Rabbit Handbook (Paperback)

I have not owned a rabbit since I was a child, and after several decades have decided to enjoy rabbits again. I was given two rabbits as (requested) gifts, and have been researching them avidly for about the last 3 months. I have purchased several rabbit books, trying to "get up to speed" before starting to show, with plans of breeding fine quality pet and show rabbits. Of all the books I have purchased to date, this one is by far the most comprehensive and useful, surpassing more expensive books easily. If your budget is limited, and your level of involvement undecided, this is the book for you! And if you just appreciate a well written and handsomely illustrated book, don't miss it.

This review is from: The Rabbit Handbook (Paperback)

As the proud owner of two house rabbits I would reccomend this book to anyone considering a bunny companion.I don't know what I would have done without it when I first got my bunnies, and I still use it today a year later. The Rabbit Handbook is the most complete book I have found so far,great for beginners and experts alike.It covers important topics such as how to choose a rabbit that's right for you, bunny behavior, proper diet, grooming, rabbit-proofing your house, different types of housing for bunnies, breeding rabbits, showing rabbits and many more great subjects. I found the detailed descriptions in the section on rabbit diseases and health conditions particuarly helpful. It is also full of wonderful photos and illustrations. If you have rabbits, get this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars The most complete rabbit book available., June 1, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Rabbit Handbook (Paperback)

Having owned rabbits in the past I found this book extrememly useful and informative. This book provided me with behavioral information I never knew that will help me with my future rabbit. Other books I found to be too simplistic, boring or way too technical for the average consumer. The Rabbit Handbook kept my insterest from cover to cover and had a consistant level of information the average consumer could understand and put into use.
