The Behavior Service at the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine is conducting a survey on pet rabbit behavior, and we need YOUR HELP! Please help us better understand the behavior of these wonderful companions by completing our survey. Once we have analyzed the results, we plan to publish the findings and make them available to the public.

The survey should be completed for PET rabbits only, NOT for laboratory rabbits or rabbits commercially raised for breeding, meat, fur, pelts, etc.

For those who have multiple rabbits, we ask that you only complete ONE survey for ONE rabbit in your household. Please choose the rabbit that you have owned for at least 3 months and whose name begins with the letter(s) closest to the beginning of the alphabet. For example, if your rabbits are named Bonnie and Rex and you have owned both for at least 3 months, only complete the survey for Bonnie. If your rabbits' names are Bonnie and Ben, only answer the survey for Ben.

There are three separate surveys; which survey you take will depend on the spay/neuter status of the rabbit about whom you are completing the survey.

• Rascally Rabbits I - for rabbits that were intact when acquired but are now spayed or neutered: Rascally Rabbits I Survey.

• Rascally Rabbits II - for rabbits that were already spayed or neutered when acquired: Rascally Rabbits II Survey.

• Rascally Rabbits III - for intact rabbits (i.e. rabbits that have not been spayed or neutered): Rascally Rabbits III Survey.

Your participation in this survey is VERY important, and we thank you in advance for your time and patience!
