Book Description
Little furry creatures, once known mainly as children's pets, have now become favorites with adults, too. And no wonder. They're entertaining, affectionate, clean, and easy to care for. They live contentedly in apartments, and many of them naturally sleep all day, so they don't get lonely while their owners are at work. Like all creatures, however, they need a nutritious diet, comfortable living space, and intelligent care. This superb guidebook thoroughly discusses how to meet these basic needs, including: * Picking a species and breed whose habit and temperament suit yours * Species that live well together * Where to shop and how to recognize healthy animals * Preparing comfortable living quarters * Safety precautions * Getting acquainted * Handling and training * And much more! With the help of experts nationwide, Elizabeth Randolph has prepared a virtual encyclopedia of information that you would be hard put to find anywhere else. And she writes so engagingly about these odd and endearing little creatures that you find yourself reading not only for the vast amount of sound advice she provides but also for the sheer pleasure of it.

Stories Rabbits Tell
Author: Susan E. Davis
Publisher: Lantern Books
ISBN: 1590563379
Category : Rabbits
Languages : en
Pages : 521
Book Description
Revered as a symbol of fertility, sexuality, purity and childhood, beloved as a children's pet and widely represented in the myths, art and collectibles of almost every culture, the rabbit is one of the most popular animals known to humans. Ironically, it has also been one of the most misunderstood and abused. Indeed, the rabbit is the only animal that our culture adores as a pet, idolizes as a storybook hero and slaughters for commercial purposes. Stories Rabbits Tell takes a comprehensive look at the rabbit as a wild animal, ancient symbol, pop culture icon, commercial "product" and domesticated pet. In so doing, the book explores how one species can be simultaneously adored as a symbol of childhood (think Peter Rabbit), revered as a symbol of female sexuality (e.g., Playboy Bunnies), dismissed as a "dumb bunny" in domesticity and loathed as a pest in the wild. The authors counter these stereotypes with engaging analyses of real rabbit behavior, drawn both from the authors' own experience and from academic studies, and place those behaviors in the context of current debates about animal consciousness. In a detailed investigative section, the authors also describe conditions in the rabbit meat, fur, pet and vivisection industries, and raise important questions about the ethics of treating rabbits as we do. The first book of its kind, Stories Rabbits Tell provides invaluable information and insight into the life and history of an animal whom many love, but whom most of us barely know. As such, it is a key addition to the current thinking on animal emotions, intelligences and welfare, and the way that human perceptions influence the treatment of individual species.
