Some good ideas,

This review is from: The Relaxed Rabbit: Massage for Your Pet Bunny (Paperback)
But I am not sure if all the techniques are safe to use on a rabbit, some of the kneading and deeper tissue moves for example, even though the author did use the techniques on her rabbit. ( I have also been a massage therapist) But, there were enough wonderful ideas for ways to pet and stroke these sweet pets which make this a worthwhile book. The author's pet rabbit was the model and the bio about the adorable bunny was heartwarming. All in all I would recommend this book,there are great diagrams of anatomy, which I did not know regarding rabbits.

Comment from the Author,
This review is from: The Relaxed Rabbit: Massage for Your Pet Bunny (Paperback)
The techniques I outline in this book were developed in conjunction with licensed veterinarians and professional massage therapists. There are tips and suggestions throughout the book on how to work safely, such as areas of anatomy to avoid, how to apply pressure, how to observe signs that massage would be contraindicated.
Good massage comes from lots of hands-on practice during which you learn to listen with your hands. I have also produced a DVD with more content and easy to follow instructions. [...]

This review is from: The Relaxed Rabbit: Massage for Your Pet Bunny (Paperback)
I got this book for Xmas, and was super excited. I am a little scared to try the massage, as it sounds like I could hurt the bunnies, some of it seems rough. It is a good book, but I think most people can figure out how to massage their bunnies, but for me, I like to have instructions.
