This primer is packed with accessible information for a rabbit owner and those preparing to become rabbit pet parents.

This is such a thorough book! It covers everything you think you need to know about having a rabbit as a pet and a few thousand things you didn’t realize you needed to know. Absolutely fantastic.

I read a digital ARC of this book via NetGalley.

I thought the history included in the beginning of the book, while interesting, was essentially not needed. I learned a lot about bunnies in The Idiots Guide to Raising Bunnies, I felt like it had better information. While there is good information in this book, I would double check things before you made serious choices.

Thank you to NetGalley for an advance reader copy in exchange for a fair review.

Preface, we've been raising/breeding/showing rabbits for the last 10 years. This book, like most rabbit books, has some really great information and some not-so-good information. If you want to learn about rabbit breeds, skip this and buy the ARBA book as the breed information here is not all correct. If you're trying to decide if you should get a pet rabbit, this is likely a good choice to read. If you own a rabbit and are looking for help training, with medical, or other information, feel free to consult this book but also befriend your local 4-H or ARBA rabbit club as they will have much more reliable information.

A very interesting and informative book about rabbits and what they need to survive and thrive as a house pet. I learned a lot and I now know that even though they are absolutely adorable, I wouldn’t want to have one as a pet. I thank Netgalley and Santa Monica Press for the opportunity to read and review this book.

Princess Fuzzypants here: Before I was born one of my earlier siblings was a bunny by the name of Butterscotch Ripple. She and my kitty sister Sammi were best friends and loved to play and tease each other. But before Butterscotch adopted my humans, there was a deep learning curve. They had to learn about rabbits and had they not had books on house rabbits, they would have been in the dark.

Unlike dogs and cats in many ways, rabbits are smart and funny and full of personality. Butterscotch was a real love bunny who enjoyed nothing so much as cuddling with Momma and kissing her whilst her ears and nose was being rubbed. All bunnies are different but if you want to have a happy and healthy little bun, you need to understand how best to care for them. This book would provide a great education. It is perfect for the new rabbit person but it is also a good refresher for someone who had been owned by a bunny or two.

Five purrs and two paws up.

"I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are my own."

A House Rabbit Primer was very useful for me. I volunteer at the local humane society as a Rabbit Wrangler and any new material to help educate me is wonderful.

We mostly receive Lionheads, French Lops (my favorite) and flemish giants between 1 and 4. This book was very very helpful. And I'll recommend it to the other wranglers and new owners.

This is a wonderfully comprehensive book for all rabbit lovers and owners of pet bunnies. This book covers the breeds, care, feeding, body language, illness and care for older and special need rabbits. This book is an important read for all rabbit owners as well as anyone considering on getting a pet rabbit -- it tells you what to expect and what bunnies need to live healthy and happy lives. An excellent guide that I highly recommend.

Thank you to Netgalley and Santa Monica Press for an ARC and I gave my honest review voluntarily.

In getting ready to adopt rabbits, I ran across this book in knowing I am under experienced in rabbit care. I thought it’d be informative, but hard to get through. While the medical section is a TON of information, all of the other sections were incredibly interesting, helpful, and entertaining. I’d recommend!

Excellent update to the first edition!! The author included a lot of updated info. It was particularly much better with how to deal with rabbits with health issues. As someone who has a rabbit with chronic issues, this was extra helpful. Highly recommend for any rabbit owner.

Very informative and extremely helpful for even advanced rabbit owners. I would definitely recommend this to all rabbit owners!

There are cute white rabbits near my place and I love them a lot. Thank you the author, the publisher, and Netgalley for sending me this e-ARC,
