A Well Written Comprehensive Look at Rabbit Behavior
A good thorough book on rabbits for the avid reader, of which I'm one. As a rabbit owner, I've bought many books on bunnies and they all have their own certain charm. However, what really makes this one stand out is its smooth flowing writing style that makes me feel like I'm reading a book. The book doesn't really have lists, contact charts or excessive photos. It simply addresses a problem in an understanding and sometimes light comical way that makes it a can't-put-down book, which is rare in non-fiction.

This book really helped us when our rabbit starting grunting all the time when she was running around. This was sudden, unexpected behavior from her especially since she seemed healthy, happy and full of life. We found the unexpected reason for this problem inside this book, which I won't give away (you'd be very surprised though!). We were able to act accordingly.

A good read for rabbit lovers who love to read.

Why Does My Rabbit . . . ?And why it doesn't . . . .
Anne McBride's book on rabbit behavior describes both the normal and abnormal in rabbit actions.It is easy to use for reference, and many common problems are arranged in alphabetical order, and even deals with wild rabbits, a bit of history, and affects on behavior as separate chapters.In all, it is a handy book for rabbit lovers and owners to use in discovering more about these unique and lovable animals.

Interesting, Informative Book On Rabbit Behavior
I read this book straight through the day I bought it, and it was a fascinating book on rabbit behavior. It was a good book to read through, and it provided a whole lot of information about rabbit behavior. I'm going to have to read it multiple times to glean all of the information it presented.

There were some things that bothered me though. Because the heart of the book, information dealing with specific rabbit behaviors and how best to deal with them, was based on letters from specific people with specific rabbits a lot of the information was too specific, and as such many, many behaviors were missing, although I suppose it would be impossible to cover all of them.

Another thing that I found difficult was that it was written from a very Brittish perspective, so some of the terms and information were at best unrelatable and at worse contridictary to the way things are in America. I suppose this is something that is rather hard to avoid considering she is in England and all the experience and research as the base of this book is from there.

All in all, this was a very good book, but for me the omissions and cultural differences lowered the book's overall appeal.

Now I know why my rabbit...
Before you buy one, read up!Before you give up on a bunny, read this book! Before you know it, your bunny with be your buddy, too!My bunny and I bonded immediately but he wasn't always mindful of my rules... now I know why he needs to dig and chew and I provide alternatives for him.He has his own bedroom that has been completely bunny-proofed and is allowed in the half of the house that has no carpet. Cords are covered in cloth and he seems to leave them alone now. He is the best pet I have ever had and is as affectionate as a dog and as playful as a cat. He is litter trained, and I feed him only vegies and hay.This book helped me understand his fear of being in the open yard with me, and to expect him to chew and dig because he is a rabbit.

Didn't help me...
I got this book from the library, after my shipment was canceled by the sender.I am happy I didn't pay for it, as it did not help me at all.I wanted to know why my rabbit did normal things, like running around our legs, pooing around his litterbox, ect.This book only covered major problems that people might have with a rabbit, like aggressivness, stealing food or clothes, and fear.If your bunny is fine, get it from the library.If your bunny has some issues, get it from the libary, and read how to stop it.If your bunny needs a lot of help with many issues, then I think the book would be helpful. ...
