Synopsis
Offers advice on selecting, transporting, feeding, handling, grooming, and training a rabbit, and includes information on common health problems.
Customer Reviews
Subjective and inconsistent rabbit-training tips.
Dangerous and misleading notions abound in Ms. Hunter's Hop to It, including: bunnies can never get electrocuted when they chew electrical wires (they can), and bunnies should be fasted before surgery (they shouldn't).
There is, however, some good, basic (stress: basic) advice contained in this small tome, which is surprising, as it seems most of the info is gleaned from her own experience WITH ONLY ONE RABBIT. Therefore, this predominately anecdotal book serves more as a photo-journal of the author and her own rabbit, than a comprehensive, authoratative, and objective training guide about rabbits in general.
Stick with the superior House Rabbit Handbook, by Marinell Harriman, instead.
REALLY USEFUL
I Have recently purchased a bunny (cuddles. And this book is excellent i now feel more confident and know that i am going to do well at looking after him. I would recommend this book to everyone. Finally a decent book on the nicest pets!!!!
Pants - don't buy it
I don't beleive anybody can be an authority on how to look after an animal when they have only ever owned one. I agree totally with the other reviewer on this page who raises concerns. Apart from the issues previously raised I have to seriously question any advice given by someone who condones deliberately trancing their rabbit. There is plenty of material out there from authoritive people that speaks out against this practice.
