The Rabbit Care Section serves all who have rabbits: Show rabbits, pet rabbits, and livestock rabbits, breeders and pet owners alike.
Most of the time, rabbit raising involves similar animal husbandry practices independent of the purposes those rabbits serve, whether meat, fur, fiber (wool), or pet.

Livestock rabbit farming, especially if a commercial enterprise, requires greater attention to detail. Various breeding, feeding, and lighting practices are optimized to help stabilize general and wintertime production. As always, animal welfare is paramount.
Pet rabbits can be a perfect solution for animal-loving but busy urban dwellers. They sleep while you're at work or school, and are active during your breakfast, suppertime, and early evening.
With 49 breeds of domestic rabbits available in the USA alone, the choices are nearly endless.
