Rabbit Reference

[Wabbitdad12]

I am trying to build my own rabbit reference library at home. What books would you recommend?

I know there is a big old health encyclopeadia (or however it's spelt) that people say is excellent.

I personally like this one on behaviour. It's called 'Why Does my Rabbit'? It's good

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Why-Does-Rabbit-Anne-McBride/dp/0285635506/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1196856374&sr=8-1

This is random, but while I was looking for that link it threw up a book called 'do ants have arseholes', lol. RANDOM!

Thanks for the book suggestion.


The funny thing is some university or government has funded multi-millions to find out if ants do!:laugh:

I really really love the textbook of rabbit medicine by Frances Harcourt-Brown. It's expensive, but I've read through it and I definately think it is worth every penny. It has just about everything you will ever need to know about illnesses in bunnies. It's on my christmas wishlist too!

Don't forget the House Rabbit Hand Book How to Live with an Urban Rabbit by Marinell Harriman, it was the book we got to study up before we got Teacup, it has lots of good bunny tips!!

One of these days I'll get around to buying the Harcourt-Brown book. I really want it!

One book I can't recommend enough is Rabbit Health in the 21st Century by Kathy Smith. It has tons of info on rabbit medical stuff and it's written for pet owners who don't have vet degrees. Not dumbed down, just in real English.

Why Does My Rabbit? is great too. And if you're going to be breeding, Rabbit Production 8th edition is supposed to be excellent and is on my to-buy list. I also like The House Rabbit Primer, and the HRS book The House Rabbit Handbook. And a great book for all sorts of random info is Stories Rabbits Tell.

I got The Stories Rabbits Tell for my bday and was very happy with it. It tells the history of how humans have viewed rabbits. The good, the bad, and the ugly. I love weird, random facts and this book is full of them. I would reccomend it.
