If You Own A Rabbit, You Must Have This Book

This book should be mandatory for rabbit owners. I found the information to be extremely useful, from what food to feed them to what symptoms indicate what illnesses. You'll learn why rabbits behave the way they do and how to keep your rabbit safe and happy. Some of the chapters weren't relevant to me because I was not raising a show rabbit. I wasn't interested in the information about breeding, breeds, etc. but it was interesting nonetheless.The first time my rabbit was ill, I panicked and that's what prompted me to buy the book. Fortunately, he had just eaten too much grass and was fine by the next day. I referred to this book countless times in my rabbit's 9 years. If you own a rabbit, buy the book. It's interesting reading and will put your mind at easy when your rabbit isn't feeling well. You can teach your kids how to properly care for their bunnies which will add to your enjoyment and will help you ensure your bunny is with you for many years.One word of advice: hide the book from your rabbit. Rabbits love to chew on just about everything!
