Description

In this freshly updated third edition of How to Raise Rabbits, you'll find practical advice for raising any number of rabbits in any environment—rural or urban, one rabbit or twenty. Brother-sister writing duo Daniel and Samantha Johnson expertly walk readers through all the basics on breed types, housing and food requirements, shows, kit care, and general healthcare for the rabbit.

Rabbits are wonderful animals to raise, whether as pets or as livestock on a farm. They are especially great as starter animals for children who participate in rabbit shows.

Before you embark on owning one of these lovable critters, however, there's a lot you need to know—for instance, which of the forty-seven rabbit breeds is best for you? Licensed by the Future Farmers of America, the guidebooks in our acclaimed How to Raise series have helped countless first-time animal owners across the United States confidently care for their new companions.

With clear and informative instructions, fully illustrated with beautiful how-to photography, How to Raise Rabbits continues to be an essential primer for the newcomer to rabbit care and a classic on any rabbit lover's bookshelf.

This was a nicely written book with lots of pictures. I would not recommend it as an eBook as the pictures were so large that it was very difficult to read. Otherwise the information had a few issues that I caught. While rabbits are low risk for zoonotic diseases, saying that you cannot get diseases from rabbits is very wrong. Also, the book is correct on rabbits not needing vaccinations in the US, but there is a critical vaccination in Europe and Australia. I liked the variety and clarity of the information presented and that one chapter even including meat rabbits.

As someone who raises rabbits and has for a few years I still learned things from this book. How to Raise Rabbits is filled with facts and photos about rabbit breeds and care.
