Rabbit Housing

Description

"Rabbit Housing" is the definitive guide for anyone seeking to raise rabbits in safe, sanitary, efficient facilities. Bob Bennett, best-selling author of "Storey's Guide to Raising Rabbits", has a lifetime of experience with successful rabbit operations. Noting the necessity of an all-wire hutch for housing rabbits securely and healthfully, Bennett provides step-by-step instructions for building these facilities, along with all the needed accessories, such as feeders, watering systems, nest boxes, and surrounding shelters and fencing. The book includes plans for both small and large-scale facilities, as well as guidelines for making the housing both attractive and functional. From the direction a hutch door should swing to how to ensure proper ventilation and protect rabbits from predators, this is the one-source reference for housing, equipment, and management routines that will ensure a healthy rabbit raising operation.

Bob Bennett is the author of six books on rabbit raising, including Storey's Guide to Raising Rabbits and Rabbit Housing, as well as numerous magazine and newspaper articles. He has served as the editor of Rabbits magazine, has been a contributing editor to Countryside magazine, and is the founder of Domestic Rabbits and a past director of the American Rabbit Breeders Association. An Air Force veteran, Bennett has a master's degree from New York University and lives in Vermont, where he has raised rabbits for more than 50 years.
