In the biomedical research community and the pharmaceutical industry, rabbit genetics are important in model organism research, antibody production, and toxicity testing. Rabbit roasters are rabbits from 90 days to 6 months of age weighing between 5 and 8 lb (2 to 3.5 kg) live weight. Rabbits should never be picked up by the ears or the "scruff" on the back of their neck because "their skeletons are light compared to their bodies, and they susceptible to trauma from falling, twisting, and kicking". Optimizing costs and producing feces that meet local waste regulations may also be factors. This coating protects the vitamin- and nutrient-rich bacteria from stomach acid, until it reaches the small intestine, where the nutrients from the cecotrope can be absorbed.[20][21].
A group of rabbits is known as a "colony" or a "nest."[14]. [31][32][33] Rabbits are at high risk for complications from anesthesia and infection of the surgical site is another top concern. ", House Rabbit Society: Sluggish Motility in the Gastrointestinal Tract, University of Miami Department of Biology: Gastrointestinal Stasis, The Silent Killer, "A Statement from the Chief Veterinary Officer (Australia) on myxomatosis vaccine availability in Australia", "Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease: Viral Hemorrhagic Disease of Rabbits, Rabbit Calicivirus Disease", "Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease: Standard Operating Procedures: 1. Peristaltic muscle contractions (waves of motion) help to separate fibrous and non-fibrous particles. Rabbits, like all mammals, produce milk for their young.
Like cats, they are smart and can be litterbox trained. [13] Another term for a young rabbit is bunny, though this term is often applied informally (especially by children and rabbit enthusiasts) to rabbits generally, especially domestic ones. Note that: "despite approximately half of all pet rabbits carrying the infection, only a small proportion of these cases ever show any illness". [42], Some rabbits are more prone to GI stasis than others.
He is the lone-surviving heroic Marine from the events of The Ultimate DOOM and DOOM II: Hell on Earth.
Within 12 hours, the eggs hatch into the larval stage of the fly, known as maggots. [63] Variations include size and body shape, coat type (including hair length and texture), coat color, ear carriage (erect or lop), and even ear length.
An over-diagnosed ailment amongst rabbits is respiratory infection, known colloquially as "snuffles". The New Zealand White is one of the most commonly used breeds for research and testing.
Bucks usually require more time to sexually mature than does, and they normally reach adult sperm counts at 6–7 months.
Animal rights activists have opposed animal experimentation for non-medical purposes, such as the testing of cosmetic and cleaning products, which has resulted in decreased use of rabbits in these areas. The rabbit's emergence as a household pet began during the Victorian era.
