    We are recruiting companion rabbit owners to complete a 10-15 minute survey. The purpose of the study is to understand rabbit care (e.g., diet, housing) and the experiences of companion rabbit owners (e.g., interactions, activities together, favourite rabbit behaviours, biggest ownership challenges). The survey includes questions about owner demographics (e.g., age, gender, country), the rabbits, and owners' experiences and opinions.

    Study participants must:

    ·       Be at least 18 years old

    ·       Live in Canada or the USA

    ·       Have financial and care responsibilities ("own") at least one companion rabbit who is not used for breeding and whom you have owned for at least one year

    The survey is available at https://uoguel.ph/rabbits.

    We are happy to answer any questions or concerns about this study and can be contacted at tingac@uoguelph.ca (Carol Tinga) or niell@uoguelph.ca (Lee Niel). The University of Guelph's Research Ethics Board (REB) certified this study for compliance with federal guidelines for research involving human participants (REB #22-11-005).
