Yes, I
do research the books I recommend on my site. From the over
7000 rabbit-related titles available at
Amazon.com , I have select
these best rabbit books for pet owners. Each of these books is
current. I look for authors who have special knowledge of
rabbits. I read the reviews and look at other works by the
authors. My number one recommendation for owners of house
rabbits is House Rabbit Handbook, which is part of my personal
library. |

Rabbits For Dummies
Reader Review
This
book is a must-have for new rabbit owners, and even people who've had
rabbits for years could benefit from it. It explains the
responsibilities that come with caring for a rabbit, and it does so in
very clear language...but it doesn't make you feel like a dummy. It
outlines the physical needs of rabbits, but I especially appreciate how
it addresses rabbits' often-overlooked psychological needs as well. This
is a great starter book...I recommend bringing it home the same day as
your new bunny, like I did.

Training Your Pet Rabbit
Book Description
Owners of rabbits must first understand their pet's body language, then
create an atmosphere of mutual trust. Rabbits can then be trained to
live happily in a house or an apartment without getting into trouble.
The author also suggests cage toys that will entertain both the pet and
its owner. Titles in this series will be much appreciated by owners who
don't know how to get started training caged pets, but want to learn.
Correct training begins with having the right kind of housing and
equipment, then getting all members of the family acquainted with the
newly arrived animal. Training Your Pet books feature full-color photos
on nearly every page, tips for hassle-free travel with a pet, advice on
managing behavior problems, and a selection of games that owners can
teach their pets to play.

The Rabbit Handbook
Reader Review
I bought this book before I adopted my first rabbit, just to make sure
that I could handle whatever responsibilities come along with having a
pet rabbit. The book gives you advice on which breed is best for you,
what to expect as your bunny grows, what to feed, what not to feed,
recommended toys, behavior interpretations, common rabbit diseases,
symptoms and treatments. I still refer to it whenever I have any
concerns. Nothing will substitute a vet visit when your bunny is sick,
but you can at least have an idea when a vet visit is necessary. I also
refer to this book as my bible. The information is concise and easy to
understand, and also easy to find, as the book is very well organized.
The only suggestion I would make is to inclue a picture of a Flemish
Giant, because that is fast becoming a very popular pet breed. Other
than that, the book is perfect.

Rabbit Handbook
Book Description
The
pet rabbit population of the United States is well over ten
million...and rapidly multiplying! Carrying less risk of diseases
for their human companions than do domestic dogs or cats, rabbits
are gentle, responsive, amenable, cuddly, clever, intelligent, and
inexpensive. In sum, they're ideal pets and they deserve the best of
human attention. Veterinarian surgeon David Taylor reveals how to
care for your rabbit, including an overview of the hare's origins in
Spain, identifying features of the various breeds, their behavior
and biology, finding the right rabbit for you, good housing for
longevity, and looking out for signs of illness. Interspersed
throughout are "Did You Know?" sidebars featuring little-known facts
about our beloved furry friends. 96 pages (all in color), 5 7/8 x 8
1/4.
