The debunked | The debunked Matt Clauss study tried to prove their was a significance difference between bowls and bottles. Since many rabbity's use bottle waterers. the truth in the matter is their is no difference between delivery of water as long as fresh clean water is available bowls, bottles, or gravity systems are all acceptable. | ||

This study was widely discredited, and removed from ResearchGate, and PubMed , becuse the sample size was 12 dwarf rabbits total. Not large enough sample to gather any conclusive evidence. the Study also failed to take into account evaporation of the water from a open bowl to account for lower volume as compared to a bottle. | [https://www.proquest.com/openview/aab930d5ae37a871a6db58254da14fdb/1?pq-origsite=gscholar&cbl=2041027&fbclid=IwAR231sEmTCZBjH9nE5l6q1mFN-Hb9dXPREmaXCS279ipOCuc4BZDUXeJGtQ Preference of rabbits for drinking from open dishes versus nipple drinkers] Tschudin, A; Clauss, M; Codron, D; Hatt, J-M.The Veterinary Record; London Vol. 168, Iss. 7, (Feb 19, 2011): 190.

" Tonic immobility (TI) is a phenomenon known as thanatosis or apparent death. The phenomenon can be induced in many ways. It occurs, for example, in the presence of a hazard, as a result of coercion through an unnatural body position or as a result of administration of certain medicines. TI is sometimes used in veterinary practice to tame patients. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of tonic immobility induction on selected physiological parameters in Oryctolagus cuniculus f. Domesticus rabbits. The study included 20 healthy rabbits, patients of a veterinary clinic, divided into two groups of 10 individuals. In the study group, TI was induced to conduct a standard clinical trial, while the control group were subjected to a standard clinical trial without TI. Heart rate, respiratory rate, pupil diameter and blood glucose concentration were measured in all animals. | " Tonic immobility (TI) is a phenomenon known as thanatosis or apparent death.

'''''The measurements were performed three times: after the patient’s arrival at the clinic, after a detailed clinical examination in a normal or tonic immobility position and 15 minutes after the end of the examination. Additionally, the blood cortisol concentration was measured twice: on arrival at the clinic and at the end of the clinical trial. The results of the experiment show that miniature rabbits feel less stress during tonic immobility testing than rabbits in the standing position, and therefore this phenomenon should be used for taming animals.

Hay can actually be detrimental to tooth health causing peridontal disease, tooth abcesses, and mechanical maloculsion due to the hard nature of cheap stemmy timothy commonly fed . | ||
Hay is also void in nutrients, feeding an 80% loose hay diet to a rabbit is actuallly starving them slowly , rabbits fed this way tend to be in poor condition , constantly shedding with brittle hair and dull sickly coats. Too much fiber pushes what little protien they have too quickly.through the body and they are unable to develope proper muscle . It weakens the bones and puts them at higher risk for breaks , it weakens immunity and makes then more succeptable to disease . It also introduced disease and parasite vectors , and has brought RHdV and EC i to rabbit households | |||

In female Rabbits it is starting to be researched on the effect of Endocrine and Adreanal diseases caused by removing the overies. Female rabbits often become over aggressive due to the increase in Testosterones after a spay. The prevalence of ALL cancer in rabbits isnt 80% its 14 to 12%. | ||
