This book was written by a veterinarian and is recommended by my veterinarian. It offers great guidelines for medical care and makes medical conditions easy to understand which helps me work better with my veterinarian. In addition, there is valuable information on behavior, training, diet and housing.
I thought this book was great. Now my rabbit is dead, and I know to go to my vet. I read all about the rabbit diseases, so when this book said that a certain symptom was normal I ignored. Good as a starter book, but only that.
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 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. I still refer to it whenever I have any concerns. 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. Other than that, the book is perfect. 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. 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.

By educating the uneducated regarding breeding this problem can be brought under control. One thing that I think should be added into all companion animal informative books (whether it be a book such as this, made for the average pet owner, or a book as a tutorial for beginning breeders) is more information on reasons to NOT breed your pet. I feel the information in this book is for the most part accurate. I received this book a few days ago and have basically read it from cover to cover. I was happy to see that it was mentioned to not breed your pet, however I think a more in depth discussion of it should have been added. The overpopulation of companion animals in this country is outstanding. I thought the feeding guidelines were a little off as well, but I have seen much worse.4 stars to Karen Gendron and Michele Earle-Bridges for a great book.
