Rabbit caging developments at Zeneca (1999)

Moore, S., Beeston, D.

Abstract

A well structured single-cage - including protruding front, hay rack and platform - and a floor-pen system are described. The incidence of this [persistent tail biting] has been greatly reduced by introducing more enrichment items to the pens, but avoiding those that encourage confinement of the animal, i.e., long tubes/drainpipes.
