The guidelines are not intended to be a complete manual on rabbit care and management but rather to provide some key guiding principles on best practice standards in rabbit housing. The guidelines will be revised from time to time to take account of advances in the understanding of rabbit physiology and behaviour, technological advances, and changes in community attitudes and expectations about the welfare of animals.
