My dad passed me his 'rabbit bible' on to me, it was published in 1951 and last updated in 1975
Thought you might be interested in some of the 'gems' in it
Housing:
"Rabbits need room to move about"..............
"A good sized hutch for a single rabbit is 2ft 6 ins long by 2ft wide by 1ft 10 ins high. This gives room for the rabbit to more about freely"
and don't forget to give the rabbit good nutritious food:
"The great advantage the tame rabbit has...... it can be kept almost entirely on household waste. It will thrive on peelings, fish waste, plate-scrapings and all the waste from the green vegetables used in the kitchen"
"A good mash can be made with potato peelings, mashed whilst still warm and any household scraps such as crumbs, chopped bacon rind, cheese, plate scrapings or fish waste should be added"
