"This is an excellent handbook produced by technicians and clinicians, in collaboration with academia, for anyone interested in learning about this unique and very addictive animal species. It is undoubtedly a beneficial tool for veterinary clinicians and agronomists, as well as professional and amateur rabbit breeders. It gave me great pleasure to be able to read this manuscript, and I hope that the readers share my excitement at seeing an initiative of this calibre and quality in our industry, and that they can enjoy a professional book that provides solutions and clear answers to their questions."
