Thumper, fiver, wee-er, biter - The natural behaviour of rabbits and its influence on behaviour problems
This paper will briefly consider the natural behaviour of the rabbit and how it influences behaviour in the captive conditions in which we keep domestic rabbits. Many may consider the rabbit a simple beast and as such treating their problem behaviours is simple and not requiring a particular knowledge base. I trust that this talk will disabuse that notion and show that the rabbit is a complicated and unique creature in terms of its biology and behaviour as well as in its relationship with humans.

Abstract
This paper will briefly consider the natural behaviour of the rabbit and how it influences behaviour in the captive conditions in which we keep domestic rabbits. Many may consider the rabbit a simple beast and as such treating their problem behaviours is simple and not requiring a particular knowledge base. I trust that this talk will disabuse that notion and show that the rabbit is a complicated and unique creature in terms of its biology and behaviour as well as in its relationship with humans.
