Rabbits for Food, Fur and Profit

“Rabbits for Food, Fur and Profit” is a classic guide to rabbit farming, dealing with everything from selection and breeding to preparing for market and beyond. Written in clear, plain language and full of helpful diagrams, this timeless handbook will be of considerable utility to those with an interest in keeping rabbits for profit or pleasure. Contents include: “Feeding”, “Safe Wild Plants”, “Dangerous Wild Plants”, “Breeds and their Purposes”, “Accommodation”, “Selection of Breeding Stock and How to Mate”, “Care of the Mated Doe”, “Care of the Nursing Doe and Her Litter to Weaning Time”, “Care of Young Stock”, “Preparation for Market”, etc.

Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on rabbit farming.
