[Bonnie Roman · Rating 1 out of 5]

This book should be called "Raising Meat Rabbits" or something like that. I found it at the library and brought it home to read, since I tend to research everything i am doing as much as I can, but this book was about raising meat rabbits, not rabbits for show, pets, fibers, etc. A lot of the information is outdated as well. Not recommended for raising rabbits for pets, fiber, farms in 2011.
