the section on mating rabbits was most helpful
I bought this book to remedy my bunnies not mating, it gave me a list of things I was doing wrong and ways to fix it which I will fixing this winter to give the rabbits a few more months to mature.

Filled with a lot of helpful information!
I always recommend Storey's raising guides I have the Sheep, Dairy Goat, and Poultry books as well.This book does not focus on specific breeds, but an overall guide on rabbits and their care in general.We are getting into breeding flemish giants for our kiddo's 4H projects, this book is filled with so much information. It can help you pick out a rabbit and care for it as a pet/meat animal/or showing. I know you can search and find most of the info online but I still highly recommend this book because it's easy to search through and it covers everything (the common things you know to search for and things you won't think to search for until you have something come up)

Great info, bad binding
Great information, especially if you're new to rabbits. However, I got to the middle of the book two days after purchasing and realized the binding of the book is already giving way. This book isn't going to last a whole week!

Great resource!
This book is fantastic if you want to get started raising bunnies for food etc. I got it to learn more about raising angora’s for fiber.If you’re looking for general info on pet bunnies, this might not be exactly what you’re looking for.

Excellent all around rabbit book for those who want to breed or raise rabbits
Bob Bennett is an excellent business man and provides a frank, clear, usable, and inspirational book on rabbits as livestock. This is not a pet rabbit book, though it covers rabbits thoroughly enough including their breeds, feeding, care, and housing in a detail that would also be useful to owners of pet rabbits. I have read a lot of farming and livestock books. They are normally not as good as Bennett's book. He is to the point, yet covers each topic in adequate detail. I found it a very easy and enjoyable read, yet I go back to it for reference.After this book, I was able get the appropriate supplies and was able to successfully obtain quality breeding stock that are doing very well.

Great resource
This is a great resource for beginners. I gave it to my granddaughter who is raising a rabbit in 4H and she has learned a lot from this book.

Not for pets
Don't make the same mistake as us. We were looking for a good guide for raising pet rabbits.This book is deffinately more orientated towards those looking to keep rabbits for food or for mating, absolutely not for the family pet

Excellent
This is an excellent guide for those new to rabbits or those who have had them quite some time. Covers everything you'd want or need to know about both pets, show animals and meat production. Includes detailed instructions on building cages or even a barn. The author is well known and certainly knows his topics. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who either is thinking of or has rabbits.

Great info, focused on breeding and raising large groups of rabbits!
I really liked the detailed care and breeding a instructions. However this book is definitely designed for a large scale rabbit breeder rather than a family with a few pet rabbits.
