Raising Rabbits. Not careing for pets.,
By ** "Archimedes" (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Storey's Guide to Raising Rabbits 4th Edition (Paperback)
This book covers a wide spectrum of useful rabbit info. Everything from housing, diet, health concerns and differences between breeds. It's more for people looking to raise rabbits as a small business (i.e. selling them to butchers, or breeding them for sale to pet stores) than people looking to care for a family pet. It would still be helpful, I'm sure to someone who has adopted their first rabbit, But with sections like how to humanly slaughter and clean a rabbit for sale as meat it's geared more to mature readers.

Good Info - but possibly one-sided?,

This review is from: Storey's Guide to Raising Rabbits 4th Edition (Paperback)
As a new keeper of meat rabbits, I really recommend this a one-stop resource for anyone.However, I think some ideas seem to be tied to old or industrial farming paradigms... such as being dependant on commercial feed with no suggested alternatives, and ideas of inbreeding that seem to me to go counter to all genetics I've ever heard of... but what do I know. He may be right.

Best Rabbit Book,
By Sheila in California - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Storey's Guide to Raising Rabbits 4th Edition (Paperback)
Absolutely the best rabbit book around! This guy has been raising rabbits since he was a little kid and he really knows his stuff. He has a wonderful concept (and I haven't seen this anywhere else) for building and setting up rabbit cages. He talks about things (like raising earth worms beneath the rabbit cages) that other people don't even mention. He has excellent advise about the nuts-and-bolts of raising rabbits (how often to breed, how to kindle in cold climates, how to feed, etc). If I could only have ONE rabbit book this would be it. And be sure to get the most recent edition (I think it was published in 2009 or 2010). It really is different (more updated and better) than previous editions. Also, the best price I found for this book was on Amazon.com.

This review is from: Storey's Guide to Raising Rabbits 4th Edition (Paperback)
Very helpful book for those wanting to raise a bunch of rabbits!I love how practical this writer is! He covers rabbits being great for so many purposes and how to enjoy the benefits of each of those purposes. ie. * raising, care and breeding (of course) * also killing and dressing them up for meals and how healthy they are to eat * selling young to various markets/sources * using their droppings for excellent fertilizer (and even to sell as fertilizer) * ideas of having a worm farm with that fertilizer (for even further money making avenues) the list goes on.... it's a great book, highly recommended! 9 of 9 people found the following review helpful
