Abstract

The high level of interaction [by single-housed rabbits with a gnawing stick, a wooden toy or a brass wire ball] indicated that the rabbits were interested in all the objects. The female pair-housed rabbits spent 88% of the observation intervals in proximity to one another. No aggression was observed between the rabbits during any of the observations.
