DOMESTIC RABBIT Class: Mammalia Animal Natural History Oryctolagus cuniculus DOMESTIC RABBIT Class: Mammalia. Order: Lagomorpha. Family: Leporidae Other Common Names: Rabbit, bunny Classification Notes: This species is the European wild rabbit which is believed to be the ancestor of all domestic breeds of rabbits. The most common wild rabbits in North America are the cottontails. Habitat and Range: Swamps, marshes, deserts, woodlands, grasslands, prairies, volcanic slopes, in cities and suburbs; in parts of every continent except Antarctica. In North America most cottontails spend the day resting in shallow dens (forms) but, if threatened, these rabbits may seek shelter in the abandoned burrows of other animals. Many Old World rabbits dig elaborate tunnels and chambers known as “warrens.” Wild rabbits are always found near water. They get all their liquid requirements directly from water sources and will die without it. Description: Rabbits and hares have long ears, hind legs that are longer than the front legs, and short tails. There are four upper incisors, the second pair being peg-like and inconspicuous. The five toes on each foot are clawed. Upper lip is split and attached to the nostrils, enabling the nose to be wiggled, which may increase the sense of smell. Eyes are on the side of the head. Appearances range depending on breed. Adult Size (wt. length): 1-16 lbs; 12-28” depending upon the breed. Diet in the Wild: Grasses, herbs, leaves, twigs, bark, roots, berries; vegetables and other crops when available. Wild rye, timothy, winter wheat, and soy beans are important seasonal foods of the Ohio cottontail. Diet at the Zoo: Rabbit chow, kale, apple, timothy hay. Reproduction: Domestic rabbits produce 5-7 litters of one to nine young per litter after a pregnancy of about one month. The babies are born blind and deaf (altricial). Life Span: Wild rabbits, about one year in the wild. Domestic rabbits, five to ten years in captivity, varying according to breed. Perils: Wild predators include foxes, dogs, bobcats, coyotes, lynxes, weasels, raccoons, hawks, eagles, ermines, ravens, badgers, and humans. In domestic situations predators include humans, alligators, snakes, bobcats, wolves, dogs, bears, etc. Protection: Keen senses of hearing and smelling; large protruding eyes set high on the sides of the head, giving them an almost complete circle of vision; swift runners; capable of swimming. Rabbits may freeze to avoid detection. Desert cottontails and the brush rabbit may even climb trees to escape danger. Camouflage. Hide in burrows. 10/2010 Animal Natural History Interesting Facts: Different kinds of rabbits mate at different times throughout the year and the number of litters and the size of the litters vary depending upon whether the rabbit lives in a warm or cool climate. Rabbits living in northern regions tend to have fewer litters but more young per litter than those living farther south where the rule is they have more but smaller litters. Adult males are called bucks, the females are does, and the young are called kittens. Males become very aggressive at mating time and may fight by boxing with their forepaws or by striking at each other with their powerful hind feet. At other times rabbits tend to be gregarious. Males and females are very affectionate at mating time, licking one another’s ears and head. Although rabbits were raised by the Romans for meat, true domestication does not appear to have taken place until the Middle Ages, when they were raised for meat and considered farm animals. Today there are more than 50 pedigree breeds of domestic rabbits, all descended from the European wild rabbit. Rabbit Care: Most rabbits keep themselves groomed by licking. Nails need to be trimmed. Never pick a rabbit up by its ears. Folklore: No group of mammals has established its place in American folklore as firmly as the rabbit. They are prominent in fairy tales, cartoons, and stories about Brer Rabbit, Bugs Bunny, and Peter Cottontail. Many superstitious individuals carry a rabbit’s foot for luck. The most famous rabbit of all is the Easter Bunny. Male rabbits and hares become sexually active about a month prior to the breeding season and before the females are receptive. The leaping, cavorting antics of these eager males may account for the expression, “mad as a March hare.” Ecology: Rabbits serve as a primary food resource for other mammals and birds of prey. In the eastern United States rabbits are hunted by man for food, sport and fur. Rabbit fur, which is soft but does not wear well, is most often used for novelties and coats. Commercial rabbit is available for fryer meat. Many people breed rabbits and keep them as pets. In many areas of the western United States cottontails and hares are destructive to crops and serve as hosts for ticks that carry such diseases as Rocky Mountain spotted fever. During the early periods of world exploration rabbits were released on uninhabited islands with the hope of creating a food source for crews of sailing vessels which might visit or become shipwrecked on the islands. Others were released in settled areas for sport hunting. Today the wild rabbit ranges in many parts of Europe, South America, Australia, and New Zealand, on various oceanic islands and elsewhere in the world. While in parts of Europe there is controversy as to whether this animal should be destroyed as an agricultural pest or conserved as a valuable game species, in most parts of the world its introduction is now viewed as a disaster, especially in Australia and New Zealand. Because there were no natural predators, the vast new rabbit populations caused widespread destruction of vegetation and seriously harmed the sheep-raising industry. In addition a number of native Australian marsupial species have been endangered or totally eliminated through competition with or habitat destruction by the Old World rabbit. Some parts of Australia do not permit the general keeping of rabbits as pets. Many North American lagomorphs thrive in environments altered by man. Cottontail species have stable populations and do not appear threatened. Only the pygmy rabbit and the New England cottontail may be endangered, as their relatively small ranges are slowly being eliminated by man. 10/2010 .

  • Chapter 10 the WELFARE of LABORATORY RABBITS
    Chapter 10 THE WELFARE OF LABORATORY RABBITS Lena Lidfors¹, Therese Edström² and Lennart Lindberg³ ¹Department of Animal Environment and Health, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Skara, Sweden; ²Astra Zeneca R & D, Mölndal; ³National Veterinary Institute, Uppsala, Sweden 1. INTRODUCTION Rabbits were the fifth most commonly used mammalian laboratory animal after mice, rats, guinea pigs and pigs in Sweden during 2002 (CFN 2003). According to the latest statistics for the EU member states, 227 366 rabbits were used during 1999 (Commission of the European Communities 2003). Both domesticated rabbits and European wild rabbits may be used for experimental research, but there are several problems in keeping and breeding the European wild rabbit (Bell 1999). Today the most common breeds used are the New Zealand White (NZW), the Dutch and the Half Lop (Batchelor 1999). Most laboratories buy these breeds as health defined (previously called Specific Pathogen Free) from accredited breeders (Townsend 1969, Eveleigh et al. 1984). Rabbits are used for many different purposes with a large number being used for antibody production, but also for orthopaedics and biomaterials (Batchelor 1999). The rabbit is especially suitable for studies on reproduction (Batchelor 1999). Rabbits are also used for cardiac surgery, and studies of hypertension, infectious diseases, virology, embryology, toxicology, experimental teratology (Hartman 1974), arteriosclerosis (Clarkson et al. 1974) and serological genetics (Cohen and Tissot 1974). Laboratory rabbits are by tradition kept individually in small cages with restricted food availability. This has led to several physiological problems related to the fact that they move too little, as well as behavioural disorders. Over the past 10-15 years many laboratories have improved the housing for 211 E.

  • Internal Parasites of Rabbits
    Vet Times The website for the veterinary profession https://www.vettimes.co.uk Internal parasites of rabbits Author : Glen Cousquer Categories : RVNs Date : October 1, 2008 Glen Cousquer BVM&S, BSc, CertZooMed, MRCVS discusses the common endoparasites found in rabbits and how to treat them BRITISH pet owners will be familiar with the idea that their dogs and cats need regular worming. It is not just our carnivorous friends that require worming – horses also require regular worming and horse owners will even collect their horses' faeces in order to prevent worm build-up on pasture. But what of rabbits? This feature will discuss the common internal parasites of rabbits and the steps required to control them. Before launching into a discussion about internal parasites, it is worth reminding the reader of the reasons why a regular worming programme is strongly recommended in our companion dogs, cats and horses. Dogs and cats carry the roundworm Toxocara canis and shed eggs of this parasite in their faeces. Faecal contamination of playing fields, sandpits and other play areas can result in children coming into contact with, and ingesting, Toxocara eggs. The larvae that hatch from these eggs can migrate within human tissues and are responsible for two clinical syndromes: visceral larval migrans and ocular larval migrans. The implications of larval migration within a human can be very serious, especially where the eyes are involved. It is primarily for this reason, in order to minimise the health risks to humans, that the BVA recommends that dogs and cats are wormed every three to four months.

  • The Domestic Rabbit: Its Nutritional Requirements and Its Role in World Food Production
    THE DOMESTIC RABBIT: ITS NUTRITIONAL REQUIREMENTS AND ITS ROLE IN WORLD FOOD PRODUCTION P.R. Cheeke* SUMMARY The domestic rabbit has great potential as.a meat producing animal. Rabbits can produce more meat from forage-based diets than can any other type of livestock. Feed conversion ratios‘ of 3-4: 1 can be obtained with high roughage diets. Rabbits are adaptable to both small and large scale production, and may be especially useful in tropical developing countries. Profitability of commercial rabbit production is currently limited by labor intensive management techniques, severe di.sease problems, and inadequate knowledge of nutritional requirements and nutritional effects on the devel- opment of enteric diseases. If these problems can be overcome, and if grains become less available and more expensive for animal feed.ing, the rabbit may become a major livestock species. INTRODUCTION At present, rabbit production, is a minor agricultural enterprise throughout the world. It is developed to its highest degree in Western European countries such as France, Italy and Spain, which have a long tra-' dition of consuming rabbit meat,. Rabbits are raised in comparatively large numbers in China, which is the main exporter of rabbit meat, and in .Hungary, which has the worldPs largest rabbitries. Even in these countries, however, rabbit production is minor compared with that of cattle, swine and poultry. Rabbits have a number of attributes which may lead to their increas- ing in importance in the years ahead. They have the potential to become a major livestock species. The intention of this article is to outline and discuss these attributes, to discuss the problems which presently pre- vent this potential from being realized', and to review the current state of rabbit research.

Research article Associate editor: Naoko Takezaki Abstract Understanding the genetic structure of domestic species provides a window into the process of domestication and motivates the design of studies aimed at making links between genotype and phenotype. Rabbits exhibit exceptional phenotypic diversity, are of great commercial value, and serve as important animal models in biomedical research. Here, we provide the first comprehensive survey of nucleotide polymorphism and linkage disequilibrium (LD) within and among rabbit breeds. We resequenced 16 genomic regions in population samples of both wild and domestic rabbits and additional 35 fragments in 150 rabbits representing six commonly used breeds. Patterns of genetic variation suggest a single origin of domestication in wild populations from France, supporting historical records that place rabbit domestication in French monasteries.

Pablo Jesús Marín-García 1,2,* and Lola Llobat 2,* 1 Institute for Animal Science and Technology, Universitat Politècnica de València, Camino de Vera s/n, 46022 Valencia, Spain 2 Department of Animal Production and Health, Veterinary Public Health and Food Science and Technology (PASAPTA), Facultad de Veterinaria, Universidad Cardenal Herrera-CEU, CEU Universities, 46113 Valencia, Spain * Correspondence: [email protected] (P.J.M.-G.); [email protected] (L.L.) Simple Summary: Why might a species both be seriously threatened and pose an overpopulation problem in introduced locations? The aim of this review was to understand the keys to the adaptive success of the wild rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) in order to establish its strengths and weaknesses for the management of this keystone species in Mediterranean ecosystems. This work highlights the need to create specific conservation programs for this species. Abstract: The European wild rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) plays an important ecological role in the ecosystems of the Iberian Peninsula. Recently, rabbit populations have drastically reduced, so the species is now considered endangered. However, in some places, this animal is considered a pest. This is the conservation paradox of the 21st century: the wild rabbit is both an invasive alien and an endangered native species. The authors of this review aimed to understand the keys to the adaptive success of European rabbits, addressing all aspects of their biology in order to provide the keys to the ecological management of this species.

  • Domestic Rabbit Oryctolagus Cuniculus
    Domestic Rabbit Oryctolagus cuniculus Natural & Life History Description: There are over 50 breeds of domestic rabbit. The largest breeds weigh over 20 pounds and include the Flemish Giant. The smallest breeds weigh less than a pound including the Columbia Basin Pygmy Rabbit. Carpenter Nature Center’s rabbit is likely a ‘Rex’. This breed is known for its soft fur. Through selective breeding ‘Rex’ rabbits do not grow long guard hairs. Rabbits have four sharp incisors (teeth) that grow throughout their life. Rabbits move by hopping, using their long and powerful hind legs. A rabbit's hind feet have a thick padding of fur to dampen the shock of rapid hopping. Rabbits have short fluffy tails. Rabbits are not rodents, they are lagomorphs and are related to hares & pikas. Vocalizations: Rabbits thump their feet when they are frightened or angry. They grunt when they are aggressive, sniff when they are annoyed and will make a shrill scream when they are afraid or are in pain. They may even grind their teeth when they are contented. Habitat & History: Rabbits are gregarious, social animals, that live in medium-sized colonies known as warrens. Rabbits are active around dawn and dusk. Domestic rabbits are descendants of European Rabbits. The last Ice Age confined the species to the Iberian Peninsula and small areas of France and northwest Africa. Due to human action and the adaptability of this species, European rabbits can be found in many areas around the world. Diet: Rabbits are mixed-feeders, both grazing and browsing. Grass is their primary food source. Domestic rabbits need a healthy mix of pellets, water, fresh vegetables and hay.
