This is one of the best books on rabbit care that I've read, and I've read many.

I've gone through many books on rabbit, and this book is by far the most comprehensive, well written and well structured. I particularly liked the way they have included many real stories from owners to illustrate the case. A must-read for all prospective and even current bunny owners!

This is one of the best rabbit care books out there. It has pretty much everything to know about a pet rabbit care and to decide if you really can adopt one .
