CARE AND MANAGEMENT OF RABBITS

This is especially true if your back lot is close to a main traveled street where your hutches can be seen.

If you can put up a neat sign stating that visitors are welcome to visit your rabbitry so that it can easily be seen from the street, you will be surprised at the number of people who will come in to look at the rabbits.
