Today I finally installed our new Rabbit Care booklet on our website. You can find it here:
http://www.lopsandcavies.com/pdf/Rabbit_Care_Breeding_Book.pdf
This is the same booklet we hand out to new pet rabbit owners and new breeders who buy our stock, and it covers basic rabbit care for both pet owners and breeders.
We cover basic cages requirements and best places to keep your rabbit, along with tips for keeping bunny comfortable in a variety of weather conditions.
We also cover feeding, with info on rabbit pellets, hay and supplements, plus we discuss the importance of water.
We touch on rabbit behavior and habits and how to keep your rabbit happy with toys, excercise and play.
Several pages cover rabbit health and illness, and how to check your rabbit for health problems.
For new rabbit breeders, we have information on basic rabbit breeding and kindling plus tips for making pedigrees, culling rabbits and tattooing.
Lastly we offer descriptions of rabbit club types, how to join and how to show your rabbit at both 4-H fairs and ARBA rabbit shows.
We hope this booklet is helpful to you - our other book was downloaded a lot, despite it not being well-optimized (and very slow-loading) so we hope this recent improvement will make this booklet easier to download for those rabbit owners who want to use it!
Have a happy Turkey Day!

Kelly does have one French Lop for sale as a pet rabbit. This male broken agouti (brown and white) is about 8 months old now, so he is just now considered an adult but has a lot more growing to do!
