All rabbits must be ordered through the University Department of Animal Care. This requirement is to ensure that incoming rabbits are of acceptable health status. Because rabbits are latent carriers of many respiratory pathogens, it is imperative that new rabbits be closely monitored during the quarantine period. However, some individuals may become aggressive and can cause significant damage using their razor sharp incisors and claws. Legal, scientific and ethical considerations dictate that they receive proper care and husbandry during all phases of the experimental process.
Rabbits are always harmless and docile.
