    This volume contains a concise guide to the Havana and Havana-rex rabbit varieties, with information on selection, breeding, general care, diet, and much more. In compiling this book on the subject of the Havana Rabbit and its counterpart, the Havana-rex, the author has endeavoured to paint a picture of these two charming varieties. Although old, the information contained herein is timeless, making this text a great addition to collections of rabbit-related literature. The chapters of this book include: 'The Havana', 'Standard', 'The Havana-Rex', 'Standard', 'Selecting Stock', 'Accommodation', 'Mating', 'Rearing', 'Feeding', 'Management', etcetera. We are proud to republish this vintage text, now complete with a new and specially commissioned introduction on cuniculture.
