REARING RABBITS - AMAZON NO 1 BEST SELLER!*** SECOND EDITION - UPDATED AND EXPANDED ***

In this Homesteading book by Best Selling Author Norman J Stone, Rabbits are in the spotlight. Perhaps one of the most underestimated and nutritional cheap food sources, rabbits have in recent years been on something of a come-back, and quite rightly so in this authors opinion.The humble rabbit is high in protein, low in calories and only 4.5% fat - lower even than chicken! Not only that, it is easy, quick and cheap to rear; and produces meat and fur that can be used by the family or sold for profit - or both!
