Customer Reviews

Great Info for when it was written

This book has some great information, BUT it has some outdated information as well. For example, feed in the US now contained high fiber which wasn't the case when this book was written. He recommends feeding hay which is now no longer required because the feed has changed and has the fiber your rabbits need. Feeding hay will keep the rabbits today from getting their nutrients from the feed they need. Read this book, but don't make it your rabbit bible.

solid medical advice

This book was written by a veterinarian and is recommended by my veterinarian. It offers great guidelines for medical care and makes medical conditions easy to understand which helps me work better with my veterinarian. In addition, there is valuable information on behavior, training, diet and housing.

Get this book, your rabbit will thank you!

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!

The Best Rabbit Book You Can Buy for the $$!

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.

The most complete rabbit book available.

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.

Informative, interesting rabbit book

This book was easy to read and gave me the answers to my questions. There were many things in it I had never heard about rabbits before. The pictures are very colorful and really cute. The twin bunnies were a nice touch. Kids will like flipping through the books just to look at the pictures. The sections on how to pick a rabbit and training them were particularly useful.I would recommend this book for anyone interested in getting a pet rabbit or for those who already have one.
