I have gained a lot of knowledge and experience about wild and exotic animal species over the years.  However I understood that i don’t have enough knowledge about rabbits even though I have encountered a lot of cases. This lack of information pushed me to research and learn new informations about this subject. This process encouraged me to write this book. I hope this book to help many others for years to come. I would like to express my gratitude to my mother, who has the biggest share in me being where I am today. I would like to thank my wife for her help and patience. I also offer my love to my son and sister. I wish God’s compassion to my sister Serap Özsoy, who passed away. I would like to thank research assistant Ebuderda Günay and research assistant İrem Deveci for their help.
