Two years ago I started rabbit farming in my small scale backyard with little knowledge of the matter. Through two years of teaching myself, reading books, consulting people, coaching students on rabbit
research, and writing scientific papers on rabbits, it has been a pleasure to sit down and write this booklet. It is not meant to be comprehensive and on purpose it is kept very simple. The basic for tropical backyard rabbit farming are included. Only those things which can be understood by common sense and which require no specialized knowledge, laboratory work etc. are discussed. Difficult words in the text have been marked (*) and are explained in the glossary.
