I added three sources regarding the Draize test and claims of cruelty under the laboratory rabbits section of the article. That said, it's my first time adding a reference, so it would be greatly appreciated if anyone would be willing to make sure the format is correct. Cheers! -- Pacack ( talk) 07:47, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
The article says a lot about the diseases but close to nothing about weight, height, length, and litter size, More needs to be added. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 1001950cats$ ( talk • contribs) 19:02, 6 May 2021 (UTC)
The housing section is a bit strange. It's very pro-hutches but the source actually only lists reasons not to house them in a hutch. Also, it's 2022. Can we not admit at this point that rabbit hutches are clearly not designed with rabbit welfare in mind? That they're a mistake of human culture, and don't take the slightest bit of rabbit biology into account, hence why hutch rabbits have crazy short lives? Even wild European rabbits don't live outdoors ffs. 2601:600:9C00:2C00:4434:9340:EB36:3518 ( talk) 08:32, 15 January 2022 (UTC)

There was a long and unsourced rambling recommending users NOT to spay a female rabbit, along with a note at the bottom explaining why OP didn't agree with a scientific study that claims unspayed female rabbits get ovarian cancer at a higher rate. To their credit, that part was sourced but layman interpretation of a published scientific article does not belong here.
If anybody can find a few primary sources that recommend NOT to spay (preferably a vet or an actual professional source!), then we can keep it up. But I really don't think anybody is going to find that. 142.136.2.21 ( talk) 18:27, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
your being called out because your saying stuff thats very suspicious like saying spaying is not advisable and then saying the concerned people don't know about rabbit behavior? I cant find any sources either that advice not to spay (not talking about the dangers, talking about the recommendation not to spay). I took out that section and added a POV tag. Its not neutral. Somebody else needs to get a fresh set of eyes on this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:100A:B123:BCF5:0:52:19CF:F01 ( talk) 14:00, 21 January 2023 (UTC)
The article currently claims the scientific name of the species as "Oryctolagus cuniculus domesticus (Linnaeus, 1758)". But I am not aware of the existence of such a name. I looked at Linnaeus's description of "_Lepus Cuniculus_" and it never mentions the word "_domesticus_". As far as I know there is no commonly accepted scientific name for domestic rabbits.
Unless someone presents evidence that this scientific name is in real use, I am going to remove it from the article. That shouldn't affect the existence of this article: it's still useful to discuss domesticated rabbits separately from their wild relatives. Ucucha ( talk) 05:06, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

Some of the health information was really sketchy here, I just cleaned up the respiratory and conjunctival section, but anyone can start working on the health related sections of this article now that NLM allows for free access to the Textbook of Rabbit Medicine.
