80s sweat suit GLORY!

Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2009

Verified Purchase

This is a very good intro for the first-time bunny owner. Lots of queer 80s photos and a bit too optimistic though. I love my bun, but there is no way to prevent his mischief with "voice commands" alone! Easy to read, a bit dated, and short, but good info overall and a lot of helpful tips for new owners. I could have done without the bizarre fanatical undertones...its a pet rabbit, not a kid!

Speaking from experience: GREAT BOOK!!!

Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2014

As an owner of a neutered black and white male mini lop, I am afraid that I MUST disagree with the previous review titled,"One Word: Misguiding." I have referred to this book several times throughout the years in training my rabbit various tricks, etc. HE DOES use a little box via the easy direction of this book! He has also learned the command, "NO!" and because of this book he listens!

One has to wonder whether this critic ever stopped reading statistics long enough to actually "try out" this book! Granted, rabbits in general can be extremely stubborn and they need motivation and positive reinforcement, but THIS BOOK DOES WORK, PEOPLE!!! Since you can not hit them nor yell at them as all that would serve to do is show them why they should not trust you, this book shows you exactly "how" to train your rabbit the right way.

For example, rabbits do not enjoy spending all day and all night in a cage; however, leaving them run free to chew up electrical cords, etc. is not safe and is extremely destructive! Therefore, by picking the bunny up and quietly, but sternly repeating several times to him, "No, no, no (rabbit's name)," while placing him back into his cage (exactly where it doesn't want to be yet again!), the so-called "dumb bunny" gets smart very quickly!

I have seen the results for myself!!! I strongly DO recommend this wonderful book to any house rabbit owner!

It's all relative--

Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2005

I've recently read this book, and I agree that this is a good back-up, but shouldn't be your only source of information. When I was in the 4-H Rabbit Club as a kid, we focused more on the ARBA standards and breeding. Then, the preferred methods of raising rabbits were similar to those recommended in this book (handling, diet, etc.). It should be taken into consideration when reading it that *it was written in 1991*. The book is 14 years old--times have changed.

I wish that this book would have been brought up to date, or that someone would write a new book solely dedicated to training your rabbit. This is one of the reasons that this book has value, despite its age and a few factual errors: there just aren't any other books out there entirely dedicated to the subject.

If you want some great information on rabbits, read The House Rabbit Handbook by Marinell Harriman, which has been revised this year--and visit Rabbit.org

There is a new book called The Rabbit Whisperer by Ingrid Tarrant (currently available only in the UK) that I hope tackles this subject for the more "advanced" rabbit-person. Otherwise, to somebody out there willing: Please re-write this book!!

Misinformation from a beginner rabbit owner

Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2010

As many other reviewers have said, this book has a lot of misinformation. This should not be labelled as a guide for training rabbits. I have owner rabbits for many years. Pellets should not be the staple diet, wire bottom cages are not good for them, cords CAN kill rabbits (I lost one rabbit this way, from electrocution), and the handling just does not fit all rabbits. Scruffing a larger rabbit is a horrible idea. Also, untrained rabbits are not dumb, they are locked up and terrified. They exhibit personality when allowed freedom, movement and playtime interaction.

Please view this book as one beginner's experience with making some mistakes, and not as a guide for new owners.

What a disaster

Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2008

I was looking for another rabbit book on how to train rabbits and looked at the 'Search Inside This Book'. Having read the first few pages of the book I was so disgusted I decided to write my first ever review. Don't go anywhere near this book - any book which says that rabbits can be left for a long weekend without anyone caring for them is a disgrace. Rabbits need fresh food and water twice a day and entirely healthy rabbits can die within 24 hours if disaster strikes. This is especially the case during warm weather when flystrike is a danger. Disgusting book, I can't believe it was published!

A Good Backup Resource

Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2003

HOP TO IT is a compact book on rabbit care written by a woman who obviously and unashamedly loves rabbits. Much of the information in the book is based on her experiences with rabbits as pets and it does have some helpful information based on lessons she has learned the hard way. Her stories about her own pet rabbits as well as the rabbits of friends are helpful, and in some cases amusing. It has helped me understated some rabbit quirks which is, of course, important. I would not recommend this book as a primary care manual for rabbits, but rather as a supplement to a book such as WHY DOES MY RABBIT? by Anne McBride or THE HOUSE RABBIT HANDBOOK, both of which are chock full of helpful information and seem to have veterinary expertise.

Not a book to read if you care about rabbits...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 16, 2018

Verified Purchase

This book offers so much incorrect information that is out of date with current knowledge and welfare guidelines. The recommendation of the use of trancing, the photographs of unsuitable cages and the way that the rabbits are held is quite distressing. I mistakenly bought a copy of this book when I first took rescued rabbits into my home several years ago and have just found it again. I am now going to shred this book so no-one else can read it.
