A novel and cost-effective approach to New Zealand White Rabbit enrichment (2003)

Mis, J., Warren, F.

Abstract

A round children's pool is being used to serve as part of our enrichment program. .. We started our program by handling the [group-housed] rabbbits more frequently. . .We also noticed a dramatic decrease in rabbits showing aggressive behavior. .. They are a lot easier to handle not only for blood collection, but also when techniques such as nail clipping and routine exams are given.
