Introduction
Before you buy a rabbit, you need a place to house your rabbit.
The kind of building you will choose depends on the location,
climate, and the amount of money that you want to spend on
the structure. The basics of housing and equipment were covered
in the second activity in the Pet Rabbit Project. If you have not
already done so, complete Activity 2: Housing and Equipment
from the Pet Rabbit Project.

When showing rabbits there are two activities you will carry out
quite often. One is traveling and the other is grooming. You may
also carry out a substantial amount of tattooing, depending on
the number of animals you decide to show and your overall
rabbit stock. In order to facilitate your show experience there
are a few pieces of equipment that you can use. There are
three additional pieces of equipment we will look at in this section:

1. Rabbit Carriers


2. Tattooing Boxes


3. Grooming Tables
