Coming SoonPick the guide that matches where you are right now. You do not need to read both — most people only need the one that fits their stage of rabbit ownership.
For: anyone who is about to bring a rabbit home, has just brought one home, or is in the first month of ownership. Also useful for foster carers and short-term rabbit sitters.
What you will get out of it: a clear list of what to buy and what to skip, how to set up the enclosure so your rabbit feels safe on day one, what to feed and how much, and the warning signs that mean call the vet. It is written to be read once and then kept open on your phone for reference during the first month.
For: owners who have made it past the first month and want a single reference that covers the full first year and beyond — diet, behavior, health, grooming, and senior care in one place.
What you will get out of it: a longer, more detailed guide you can dip into as new questions come up. Use it like a reference book: skip to the chapter that matches whatever your rabbit is doing this week, and come back to the rest as the year unfolds.
A practical note on how to use these guides: they are not meant to be read cover to cover in one sitting. Skim the table of contents, mark the chapters that match your current stage, and leave the rest for later. Rabbit care is something you learn by doing, not all at once. The guide is there when you need it — not before.

I have kept rabbits for over a decade. I have made every mistake in the book — the wrong food, the wrong cage, the wrong approach to bonding. I learned from all of it.
This book is everything I wish someone had told me before I brought home my first rabbit. Written for people who want the real answer, not the simplified version.
PDF. It works on any device — phone, tablet, computer. You can also print it.
It is designed for people who have never had a rabbit before, or who have had rabbits but want a more structured approach. Experienced owners often find the first 30 days section useful too.
Read it before you bring your rabbit home. The preparation chapters will save you significant time and money.

The core of the book focuses on rabbits in their first year. Later chapters cover senior rabbit care and what changes as your rabbit ages.

These guides are written by Janie M. Scott, who has been caring for rabbits for decades and has written about rabbit care for owners at every experience level. The goal with every guide is to give you something you can actually use — not just information, but a path forward.
All of the free ebooks on this page are distributable at no cost. If you find them useful, please share the links with anyone who might benefit. The goal is to get good information into as many rabbit owners' hands as possible.
If the First 30 Days guide is not exactly what you need, browse the rabbit care articles — they cover specific topics in depth, from GI stasis to bonding rabbits to what rabbits can eat. For rabbit owners with specific questions, the emergency vet finder and how to find a rabbit-savvy vet guide are particularly useful starting points. Knowing where your nearest rabbit vet is before you need one is one of the most important things you can do as a rabbit owner.
The First 30 Days guide has been read by thousands of rabbit owners, and the most common feedback is that it answered questions they did not even know they had. New rabbit owners consistently report that the guide helped them avoid common first-month mistakes — mistakes that are easy to make when you do not know what you do not know.
If you find these guides useful, the best thing you can do is share them. Rabbit ownership is better when more people have accurate information, and the barriers to good information should be low. Forward the links to friends who are considering getting a rabbit, post them in rabbit groups you are part of, and if you have feedback on what was helpful and what was not, use the contact form to let us know.
