        Rabbit Behaviour, Health and Care

        by Marit Emilie Buseth, Richard Saunders

        This book is an essential, thorough, very practical guide to understanding and caring for your rabbit. By following the advice in this book, both rabbit owners and veterinary health professionals report healthier and more content rabbits. Developed from the successful Norwegian text Den Store Kaninboka by the award-winning author Marit Emilie Buseth, Rabbit Behaviour, Health and Care will help you: - develop an understanding of the rabbit's nature, which will help you to spot normal and abnormal behaviour; - learn about the correct living conditions in which to keep domestic rabbits, in terms of their behavioural, physical and social needs; - acquire essential knowledge about rabbit nutrition, dentistry and disease; - discover a new and improved approach to rabbit-keeping through stories and case examples of real rabbits; - gain a rewarding owner-pet relationship. Rabbits are extremely popular pets, but misconceptions about their care and behaviour are widespread. Most illnesses or behaviour problems are a direct or indirect result of poor nutrition and care. This book helps veterinarians and rabbit owners to overcome these challenges by understanding the rabbit's nature and needs.

        The Rabbit and the Snail

        by Li Donghua, Zou Xiaoping

        The Rabbit and the Snail, an original picture book with a touch of philosophical temperament, tells of the diverse choices made toward life by the traveler rabbit and the botanist snail. The fast-running rabbit is able to embrace the width of life, while the slowly-moving snail experiences the depth of it; the two form a delightful contrast. The rabbit is capable of reaching a distant place, while the snail can spend its whole life on a morning glory that is close at hand. They not only reap the joy of success in their skilled fields but also appreciate a completely different way of life from their own.
