I’ve never raised rabbits in a colony before, but this book makes the whole idea feel far less intimidating than I expected. The author breaks everything down simply — space, safety, group dynamics, feeding, breeding — without overcomplicating the process.
It’s practical, encouraging, and gives you enough confidence to seriously consider trying a colony setup, even if you’ve only ever done traditional hutches. A solid, beginner-friendly guide.
