House Rabbit Handbook: How To Live With An Urban Rabbit

This book contains useful information specific to raising a house rabbit. Some articles are: "Planning For A New Family Member"; "Socializing"; "Friendly Lift offs"; "Teaching Children To Be Rabbit People"; "Feeding For Longevity"; "Digestive Process"; "Care Of the Young"; "Convalescent Care". The many topics in this book are: Customs and Characteristics, Pre-adoption Agenda, Training Naturally, Rapport with Humans, Rapport with Multiple Animals, Meeting Physical Needs and Medical Care.

This book should be in the library of every house rabbit parent. I found it especially useful in the areas of feeding, digestion and diet including healthy weight loss for the fat rabbit.

This book is geared to understanding and training your house rabbit. Although there are other books covering some of the same topics, this book takes on the unique approach of being relayed by first hand experience based on Samantha Hunter's experiences with her own house rabbit "Woodstock".

Topics include grooming and keeping bunny healthy but more importantly it deals with training issues for the house rabbit covering specific topics such as: "Bunny proofing Your Home"; "Handling Your Bunny"; "Trust Training"; and "Harness & Outdoor Training".

This book is a must have for every house rabbit owner. I have yet to find one person who doesn't recommend this book.

Rabbits For Dummies

Rabbits For Dummies

This book is a must have for any rabbit owner. Some of the topics covered include: "Is a rabbit right for you?"; housing; feeding; grooming; common health problems; litter & house training; traveling with your bunny; knowing when to take bunny to the vet and so on.

Some of you may be familiar with Audrey Pavia's previous book "The Rabbit: An Owner's Guide to A Happy Healthy Pet" well this book is better. It contains the same information found in the previous book and much more. It is laid out in an easy to use format and with language you don't have to have a university degree to understand.

Depending on who you talk to people either really like this book or hate it. The so-called reasons to hate the book are based on personal beliefs and preferences because it mentions housing rabbits outdoors, breeding and showing rabbits and it doesn't stress enough that all pet rabbits need to be spayed and/or neutered. In my opinion a good generalized starter rabbit book like this one should cover all the topics. The goal is to teach people about rabbits in an unbiased way, which is another reason why I like this book.

I highly recommend this book to everyone who has or is thinking of getting a rabbit. It has just about every bit of information you will ever need. The only other books on rabbits I find myself reading are the ones dealing specifically with medical issues and treatment.

This book is highly recommended. Massage is one of the best ways to get to know your rabbit and is beneficial to both of you. Massage is not only calming it is healing and does a wonderful job on helping out rabbits with gas and/or GI Stasis.
