Very educational

[Peacegal · Rating 3 out of 5]

Very basic pet ed book for beginning readers. Happily, it discusses how quickly unspayed rabbits can multiply and the need to have them altered to prevent this. A "Notes for Parents" reminds adults that they will be responsible for a pet rabbit's expenses and the majority of everyday care; it also re-emphasizes the need for altering.

Unfortunately, the text also states that a rabbits hutch can be kept "indoors or outdoors," and doesn't differentiate between the appropriateness of the two.
