BREEDING AND CARE OF RABBITS 



Take care of your stock yourself. The idea of 

 leaving it for George to do does not work well with 

 rabbits. 



Never enter the rabbitry suddenly. This results 

 in scaring the rabbits. 



Never permit children to maul or handle the rab- 

 bits by the ears. 



Look your rabbits over twice a week and isolate 

 sickly specimens and those afflicted with colds. 



Admit plenty of fresh air to the rabbitry but keep 

 it absolutely free from draughts. 



In handling your stock, place one hand underneath 

 the hind quarters and lift the rabbit with the other, 

 holding by the loose skin of the neck directly back 

 of the ears. The weight should rest on the hand 

 under the hind quarters. 



Study each individual rabbit and learn their likes 

 and dislikes. 



Be honest and square in all your dealings and you 

 may demand the same in return.
