Review: Will never regret buying this!!!!! - Can I just say how amazing this book is? I realize that sounds forced or programmed but it isn't. I have been wanting to do meat rabbits for a few years now. I have been talking to people who have them, reading online, doing everything I can to prepare myself. My husband, who is a avid hunter, kept shooting my idea down-- no pun intended. Finally, after a third year of rabbit hunting and coming home empty handed, he said, let's look into it. Well, id done all that. So after sharing everything I learned, we went to get rabbits and he was like a kid at Christmas. From there, my interest turned into a continious burst of excitement for him and me-- since I no longer had to do this alone, lol. No matter how much research and talking a person does, though, there are still things I have no clue about until they become an issue. That's when I went looking for a book. I've bought Storey books before and liked them but I still prepared myself to find a bunch of things out that I already knew. In fact, usually a book is filled more with "I already know that" than, " oh! I didn't know that!". This one wasn't like that at all. I mean, a few things I few but a wealth of info that I didn't. For example, I didn't know about Florida Whites and while I have no proof, I think a couple of rabbits I bought this past weekend who the owner said was New Zealand's, but after getting them home and seeing them compared to my NZ's and seeing how tiny they are compared to them, I am now wondering if they are FW's. Rare in my area-- if I can find them at all, I think it's possible people would confuse the two. Still unsure about those marbles to check a Doe and if she is pregnant, and if my Does took or not-- having to wait till they pull fur--this book gave me a few more ideas on how to tell. Not to mention Hutch ideas, watering examples, DISEASES and a ton of possibilities on making some money doing this-- pros and cons of both-- like Labs ( not doing but appreciate the info), selling fur and what fur sells best, seeking to commercial meat places verses processing myself and selling local -- well, I appreciated ALL of these! And the couple of recipes in the back-- wish there were more-- be sure to thank your wife for that! I'm sure this book will continue to be helpful and it's one of few I will never regret buying!!!!! Thank so much! Review: Practical and Complete Guide for Raising Rabbits - Storey calls itself “the best-selling animal raising series with more than 1.7 million copies sold” and after reading this book, I can see why that is the case. In less than 250 pages, the author covers just about every aspect of raising rabbits in a manner that is both engaging and educational. The author does not stop with just the basics but goes in-depth with diagrams and instructions on everything from building your own rabbit dressing station and rabbit carrier to an example Tan rating sheet and illustrations on how to do a rabbit manure hotbed. The feed guidelines and feeding supplement ideas were especially insightful. As a rabbit breeder that is still in the learning stage, I found many of the tips in this book to be very practical. Some of the ideas were even outside-the-box, innovative, and unique. Not content with just describing how to raise rabbits, the author also included a chapter of recipes and some information on the benefits of eating rabbit meat which is high in protein and low in calories. If there is a flaw in the book it is that the author tends to focus more on the breeding side than the meat side of rabbits. This does not distract much from the book as there is much helpful information in it and it covers each area of raising rabbits in detail. I can recommend this classic book as very helpful for both the rookie and the experienced rabbit raiser who may be looking for new ideas. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,195,490 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #132 in Food Animals in Veterinary Medicine #324 in Agriculture Industry (Books) #980 in Animal Husbandry (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 410 Reviews | ## Images ![Storey's Guide to Raising Rabbits, 4th Edition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81kgixeqx0L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Will never regret buying this!!!!! *by C***S on August 23, 2016* Can I just say how amazing this book is?

About the only animal that you can raise almost anywhere, producing high quality meat, with the minimum external input is rabbits. This is the basic bible for raising meat rabbits. After reading this book you will know enough to ask pointed questions and understand when you are being led down the Bugs Bunny path. The author has been raising rabbits long before most potential readers have been alive, and much of that wisdom is included in the book. One problem I am noticing as I continue my research in producing my own rabbit meat is that many of the rabbit breeders are not raising rabbits for food, even with the less common meat breeds, but raising bunnies for show and for pets. Kinda like cat lovers, but a little more heavy on the warm-fuzzy. This means when you finally decide what type of rabbits you would like to use to control your meat supply, finding a breeder in your area or one willing to ship it to you, like the book's author, might be a frustrating experience. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1524432-storeys-guide-to-raising-rabbits-4th-edition](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1524432-storeys-guide-to-raising-rabbits-4th-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
