Rebecca Bee BSc designed the Rabbit Care and Behaviour Courses for the staff at the Blue Cross animal charity whilst working there as an Animal Behaviourist. As well as a BSc in Animal Care Science and running her own rabbit rescue and behaviour service, the knowledge she imparts in this book offers owners a comprehensive guide to understanding rabbits and their unique needs. Rabbits are one of the most misunderstood companion animals; however, they can be fun and interesting pets when kept appropriately. When you change the way you interact with them and alter some aspects of their lifestyle, they can be transformed into animals who enjoy your company as much as you enjoy theirs. Having rabbits who excitedly run to you, as opposed to away, are a daily joy to greet! Key areas of rabbit care are covered, such as: rabbit behaviour, bonding (including group bonding), suitable housing, litter training, house rabbits, environmental enrichment, taming, nervousness and aggression, grooming, diet, fun training and adopting rescue rabbits. All areas put together result in more rewarding and lower maintenance rabbit care. This book will also help adults guide children in how to interact with their rabbits respectfully and in a way that enhances their relationship. The biggest problems with rabbit care and children are a result of outdated housing and handling information. The photos and easy read style assists owners in creating an environment where their rabbits will be happier, and children and adults can enjoy them without the nervousness and aggression traditional rabbit keeping often causes. Whether you already have rabbits or are preparing to bring them into your life, there is something for everyone in this book. It will help to improve your relationship with these amazing animals and give them the best life possible.
