Tips for the beginner:
1. Read all you can about your specific breed of rabbit. Read books on basic care, diseases, prevention of illness and
anything else you can find to help you with your new rabbit. Also talk to some breeders, get as much information as you can
before you purchase the new rabbit.
2. Ask questions before you buy. Most breeders are very eager to answer any questions you may have and are helpful if
you just ask.
3. Always handle your rabbits gently. They will become accustomed to you handling them and will enjoy it as much as you!
