By Percival Bretton

"Utility Rabbit Keeping" is a vintage guide to rabbit farming for profit written by Percival Bretton. It includes chapters selection and breeding, as well as how to profit from their meat and fur, exhibiting, care and management, and much more. This volume will be of utility to anyone with an interest in keeping and breeding rabbits, and it would make for a fantastic addition to collections of related literature. Contents include: "Hutches and Rabbitries", "The Best Utility Breeds and How to Buy Them", "Feeding", "The Whole Art of Breeding", "General Management", "Wool Rabbit-Keeping", "Rabbit Courts and Rabbit Warrens", "Killing and Marketing Table Rabbits", "Rabbits for Fur", "Ailments and Diseases", "Some Points for the Fancier", "The Blue Beveren", "The Silver Grey", "The Havana", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on rabbit farming.
