Editorial review:
The iHouse Rabbit Handbook/i coined the term "house rabbit" and continues at the forefront of rabbit care and appreciation. Packed with the collective wisdom of bunny-lovers and charming, candid photos of their pets, this fourth edition keeps pace with a more knowledgeable and demanding readership. This revision includes updated health-care and dietary information, accompanied by diagrams and photo illustrations, and chapters on understanding rabbit language, choosing a rabbit, and safety issues. A new section includes revised recommendations for rabbit space and how to creatively integrate it with human space. Fresh housing options described here include "condos" and "Xpens." Exercise and ways to encourage it is the subject of another new section, covering how the shape of an exercise area can determine whether it's used, along with equipment and stimulating "activities" for rabbits. Also here are improved techniques for litter box training, bunny proofing, lifting and handling, grooming and bonding; behavior insights from expert caregivers; dealing with elderly, special-needs, and disabled bunnies; and much more.

5 stars. Why is this book $119? !!!
Read the reviews and wanted to buy this as I recently got my first rabbit. Then I saw the price. Can someone tell me why this book is $119? If it is this good isn't it printed regularly and available like most books that are, say, $25?

5 stars. Great book for both urban and rural rabbits
This common sense book is great for both the urban and rural rabbits as well as the novice and the more experienced rabbit owner.
br /
br /The author obviously knows her rabbits and their behavior. She gives you great tips on adopting, setting up the space for your new addition as well as outlining hazards that may harm your new friend (or you!).
br /
br /You'll also find comprehensive information for the litterbox training of your bunny and information on helping your new friend bond with your existing animals.
br /
br /The sections on health and feeding are especially valuable for the first time bunny owner as well as a great refresher for the more experienced bunny bonder!

4 stars. An excellent primer for rabbit ownership
I bought this the other day for the bargain price of $4.62 through the Amazon marketplace. It arrived in under 7 days and in excellent condition.
br /The author is an experienced rabbit handler who has worked for years with the House Rabbit Society (Google same for their web site) to care for, and advance the cause of, rabbits.
br /In particular, Harriman does an excellent job accounting for the rabbits' needs, social as well as diet. She makes it clear that rabbit ownership is not at all like owning a pet turtle, and lays out clearly what you'll need to be ready to provide for them in terms of care and, for want of a better word, "mateship"--rabbits are intensely social animals that need to be involved in the life of a family.
br /We will probably be adopting our first rabbit in the next year or so. Harriman's book turned out to be an excellent primer, and I'd recommend it without hesitation!

5 stars. A must have for house rabbit owners
If you are only going to purchase one book about house rabbits this should be the one. I have purchased several and taken several out of the library and this is still the first one I pick up when I need information.
