In 2008, the UFAW/RSPCA Rabbit Behaviour and Welfare Group produced a resource that sets out practical guidance on fulfilling the basic needs of the rabbit.

Refining rabbit care - a resource for those working with rabbits in research (2008) (PDF 1749KB) is based on the current laboratory animal science and welfare literature and on the expertise of the authors, who have long standing experience of rabbit husbandry and care in a laboratory environment.
