Can I just say how amazing this book is? I realize that sounds forced or programmed but it isn't. I have been wanting to do meat rabbits for a few years now. I have been talking to people who have them, reading online, doing everything I can to prepare myself. My husband, who is a avid hunter, kept shooting my idea down-- no pun intended. Finally, after a third year of rabbit hunting and coming home empty handed, he said, let's look into it. Well, id done all that. So after sharing everything I learned, we went to get rabbits and he was like a kid at Christmas. From there, my interest turned into a continious burst of excitement for him and me-- since I no longer had to do this alone, lol.
No matter how much research and talking a person does, though, there are still things I have no clue about until they become an issue. That's when I went looking for a book.
I've bought Storey books before and liked them but I still prepared myself to find a bunch of things out that I already knew. In fact, usually a book is filled more with "I already know that" than, " oh! I didn't know that!".
This one wasn't like that at all. I mean, a few things I few...

Almost everything I wanted to know about breeding rabbits for meat, with good information about light husbandry and showing too.

Storey calls itself “the best-selling animal raising series with more than 1.7 million copies sold” and after reading this book, I can see why that is the case. In less than 250 pages, the author covers just about every aspect of raising rabbits in a manner that is both engaging and educational. The author does not stop with just the basics but goes in-depth with diagrams and instructions on everything from building your own rabbit dressing station and rabbit carrier to an example Tan rating sheet and illustrations on how to do a rabbit manure hotbed. The feed guidelines and feeding supplement ideas were especially insightful.
As a rabbit breeder that is still in the learning stage, I found many of the tips in this book to be very practical. Some of the ideas were even outside-the-box, innovative, and unique. Not content with just describing how to raise rabbits, the author also included a chapter of recipes and some information on the benefits of eating rabbit meat which is high in protein and low in calories. If there is a flaw in the book it is that the author tends to focus more on the breeding side than the meat side of rabbits. This does...

As a newcomer to raising rabbits, I needed all the help I could get. This book along with a very helpful neighbour who has kept rabbits all her life, has been so good for me to understand and enjoy my rabbits. Here in France everyone in the country has them for the the table and, for me, the main thing is to give them a good life and treat them with respect.

Like a lot of people I am becoming more aware of problems with our industrial food system, especially when it come to our meat. About the only animal that you can raise almost anywhere, producing high quality meat, with the minimum external input is rabbits. This is the basic bible for raising meat rabbits. After reading this book you will know enough to ask pointed questions and understand when you are being led down the Bugs Bunny path.
The author has been raising rabbits long before most potential readers have been alive, and much of that wisdom is included in the book. One problem I am noticing as I continue my research in producing my own rabbit meat is that many of the rabbit breeders are not raising rabbits for food, even with the less common meat breeds, but raising bunnies for show and for pets. Kinda like cat lovers, but a little more heavy on the warm-fuzzy. This means when you finally decide what type of rabbits you would like to use to control your meat supply, finding a breeder in your area or one willing to ship it to you, like the book's author, might be a frustrating experience.
