This is not the book I thought it was. Full of misinformation and old fashioned outdated ideas. And to my horror it includes some UK celebrity's stories of their experiences with rabbits, which may have been an attempt to be charming or funny but come off as horrifying in their complete lack of understanding and bad information.

Although there is some good information in this book, the organization is haphazard not easily found, in short, this is this is not a reference book for anyone who has a house rabbit. You would be much better off with The House Rabbit Handbook: How to live with an Urban Rabbit by Marinell Harriman House Rabbit Handbook: How to Live With an Urban Rabbit. Don't waste your time and money on this book. The author is no rabbit whisperer!

Apologies to the author but I have learned more useful information from the 3 months I've had rabbits then she seems to have learned from her year of caring for rabbits. The information is not useful, in fact she leaves out serious common ailments and includes many that are not much of an issue. The "celebrity" (who are these people and why should I value their opinions?) sections are horrible. I hoped this book would offer insight in how to communicate with these amazing and delightful creatures. There was none of that. There are far far better books out there! If you have rabbits I found "Rabbits for Dummies" and "House Rabbit Handbook" to be very useful. I also subscribe to the etherbun list serve and it is a valuable resource. I'm sorry I spent my money on this book.

Sad to say that when I purchased this book noone had given it a review, if they had I would not have bothered buying it. Lik the other reviews the information is very basic and not that correct.
Please dont buy this book going by the title, they really dont know that much about Rabbits.

I have to admit that, while the other reviewers are correct that there is misinformation, I really enjoyed reading this book. It IS charming, in an unusual sort of way. I didn't get it for a long time, because of the bad reviews, but now I'm glad I took a chance.
