Hi all, I'm conducting a research study into problem behaviours in pet rabbits. The details are all given below. If your rabbit shows some sort of behaviour that you would class as a "problem", however big or small, I would love to hear from you. If there are any issues using the link please do let me know and I will try to sort it out as soon as possible.
Participation is completely voluntary. If you think you might be interested, some more details are given below:
What do I need to do?
We’re looking for participants to complete an online survey investigating:
• The types of problem behaviours present in pet rabbits in the UK;
• How serious people think these problems are; and
• Where they might look for advice.
This is the first of two questionnaires that we’ll be distributing, and for this one responses need to be typed, rather than relying on multiple choice. This is so that we can get as much information as possible.
Am I eligible?
Anyone who works with or owns rabbits is eligible, provided you are over 18 and legally able to give consent for your participation.
Will anyone know I’ve participated?
The survey is completed anonymously.
How do I participate?

The research is being conducted as part of an MSc thesis.
