What Rabbit books have you got?

[Kay]

I have Rabbitpedia and just ordered

Rabbittalk
One Hundred Ways to a Happy Bunny, and
Why does my rabbit?

Does any have these? are they good?

What other books do you have that are good?

[Sooz]

Stories Rabbits Tell- Good but hard going adn distressing in places
Rabbitlopeadia- Outdated and some disagreable Information
Living with a House Bunny- Good
Hop To It- Guide to Training your Rabbit- Not read it yet
100 ways to a Happy Bunny- Good if a little basic
Rabbits for Dummies
Why Does My Rabbit- Very interesting, learnt a lot.
The Rabbit Whisperer- Awfully basic, mostly regurgitated from a hundred other care books.
The problem with Rabbits, A Sanctuary's Modern Approach- Outdated but brutally honest.

[Shell]

I have only got one:

House Rabbit Handbook: How to Live with an Urban Rabbit by Marinell Harriman

I bought it a couple of months before I adopted Bugsy and Lola and read the whole book over and over again before I got my bunnies.

I might get another one or two if someone recommends some good ones :)

[Pipstrel]

I have Rabbits for Dummies but have only read bits of it

[chloaster]

Rabbitlopedia
The RSPCA one
And Why does my rabbit ..

[Kay]

I agree that the Rabbitpedia has some very controversial things in it, and I hate the photo of the bun in that tiny hutch which is called 'Nicola's rabbit'.

I am hoping to understand more about buns body language.

Perhaps this group should make a book with top tips and send the money it makes to the rescues.

[IzzyTwig]

Rabbitlopedia - terrible, wouldn't reccomend it at all, not easy to read and misleading information, I get bored or angry when I read it.
Rabbits for Dummies - very good
The Complete House Rabbit - just the usual care book
How to Care for your Rabbit - ditto, but bit more lacking
Collins Rabbit - slightly better than the above two, but nothing to rave about
RSPCA Care for your rabbit (from the 80s) - Amusingly outdated but some good stuff in there.

[JayUK]

I have Rabbits for Dummies, which I found really helpful.
House Rabbit Handbook, which I still pick up and read every now n then, really easy to read, very informative.
Unfortunately I also got this one..

The Rabbit Whisperer- Awfully basic, mostly regurgitated from a hundred other care books.

Couldn't agree more, it was nothing like the title suggested, and full of cheesy celebrities. When Bertie starts gnawing books, i give him this one :lol:

I have to say though that I've learnt substantially more from being a member here than any of the books, but they were really helpful in us deciding to get a rabbit in the 1st place :)

[Bavarian Bunny]

I only have the RSPCA one. I usually get all my information on the internet.

Oh, I also have the complete Bunny Suicides. :D

[mystic.kitty]

I only have three rabbit books

Rabbits for dummies
The Rabbit whisperer
One hundred ways to a happy bunny

will probably gain more along the way though.

[toadflaxbex]

I have Rabbitpedia and just ordered

Rabbittalk
One Hundred Ways to a Happy Bunny, and
Why does my rabbit?

Does any have these? are they good?

What other books do you have that are good?

I have Why does my rabbit? and Why does my cat? I find them very interesting. I also have an RSPCA rabbit one but that isn't as interesting

[JayUK]

I am hoping to understand more about buns body language.

Sorry Kay, didn't spot that line before, this site (http://www.paperglyphs.com/rabbits/rabbittalk.html)is great for body language :)

Rabbit health in the 21st cenury: A guide for bunny parents

The relaxed rabbit by Chandra Moira Beal

Stories rabbits tell: a natural and cultural history of a misunderstood creature by Susan E Davis and Margo Demello

House rabbit handbook: how to live with an urban rabbit

Rabbits for dummies


Plus a few norwegian books which are not very good..

[Fifibutton]

I've got a few and am always looking for more really good ones.

1. Rabbitlopeadia-- I liked this, thought it was in depth info and well laid out. Could have had more pictures though.
2. Family Pet Guide: Rabbit-- The title makes it sound basic but is actually quite thick with great info tips and pictures.
3. Encyclopaedia of Rabbits and Rodents-- this lists breeds and their histories.
4. Rabbit Intrnal Medicine-- Very scientific. I bought it because I'm studying vet nursing. There is a good chapter on analysing urine.
5. 101 ways to a happy bunnie-- good tips for beginners
6. Practical guide to rabbit care-- more fore kids but good info and layout.
7. Rabbits-- A kids pet care book. It reccomends adult supervsion.
8. See how they grow-- Again an old book bought for me when I was akid about the growth of baby rabbits.
9. Rabbit-- more in depth for older teens and adulys but very old and somewhat outdated
10. All about your rabbit-- Very basic and came free with my first hutch.
11. When Your Rabbit Needs Special Care: Traditional and Alternative Healing Methods-- Very interesting and different. It advises how to improve a rabbits general suroundings when they are ill and is quite medical in its descriptions of administering meds.

[clutterydrawer]

I have:

"living wiht a house rabbit" by marinell harriman - very good, the first one i got, i learnt a lot from it
"rabbits for dummies" - mostly excellent but with a couple of thigns i hugely disagree with
"100 ways to a happy rabbit" - good for a beginner but nothing in it you wont have learnt on here
"rabbit health in the 21st century" and "notes on internal rabbit medicine" i dont read these as such i jsut have them for reference in times of illness but they have both proved useful and interesting

[Rachelk]

I have

House Rabbit Handbook: How to Live with an Urban Rabbit - good, though some odd ideas at times.

the Rabbit Whisperer - really disappointed in this wish I had seen more reviews

100 ways to a happy bunny

Clicking with your rabbit - on order as I wanted to see what it said, not sure if I will carry it ou!

for language I LOVE this site and it helped me when I first got them

http://www.paperglyphs.com/rabbits/rabbittalk.html

[Deelove]

Just rabbitlopaedia - some of it is outdated and it's rather aimed towards exhibitors etc, but it is very informative about the medical and anatomy and history sides.

[CRBevis]

Rabbit lopedia
Rabbits for Dummies
How to look after your rabbit
Why does your rabbit...

And I have just ordered the Textbook of rabbit medicine by Frances Harcourt-Brown

[rabbitmum]

We made the mistake of leaving Rabbit lopedia out once and one of our buns ate most of it:oops::censored::oops:
So thats what our lot thought of it.....
I agree that it seems to be aimed more at breeders than pet owners and also I feel it looks (and is probably) a bit out of date

[Ida]

Yeah, I forgot I've downloaded clicking with your rabbit. I've learned milla to give me kisses :D Will soon start with target training.

[Hugo's There]

Does anyone have BSAVA Manual of Rabbit Medicine and Surgery, by Anna Meredith and Paul Flecknell?

How does it compare to a Textbook of Rabbit Medicine?

[Sooz]

Does anyone have BSAVA Manual of Rabbit Medicine and Surgery, by Anna Meredith and Paul Flecknell?

My friends at Bristol recommended it and they use it during their studies but I have no first hand experience of it.

Rabbittalk
One Hundred Ways to a Happy Bunny, and
Why does my rabbit

As a review of the books I ordered I have to say that Rabbittalk and 100 ways to a Happy Bunny were rubbish! Tiny little books, not much information and very very childish.

Why does my rabbit....? - is quite good. I learnt things like rabbits have 18 teeth etc and a few behaviour issues and how to stop them. Out of all the books this one was the best.

[Jocelyn]

I have:

The House Rabbit Handbook - some good info, and a nice big list of plants that are toxic to bunnies - bit outdated and american though, although I think there is a more recent version.

Living With A House Rabbit - Aimed more at kids but it has some nice simple info.

Rabbitlopedia - RUBBISH. Absolute tosh and really misinformed.

I also have one which I can't remember the name of.. I think it's called The Truth About Rabbits [a rescue's point of view] or something similar. I didn't think it was very good. I know they are trying to put people off of impulse buying rabbits but it was possibly the worst one out of the lot.
