Talk:Rabbit

Sleep

This section probably doesn't need to have its own heading. Since it's there anyways, the fact that rabbits are crepuscular should be added. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Windryder201 (talk • contribs) 03:38, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

Health issues

Perhaps we should expand this part making clear both pros and cons of eating rabbit — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.18.50.180 (talk) 20:17, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

rabbits as pets

The following statement is problematic for the enumerated reasons, below. "the House Rabbit Society advise that rabbits do not make good pets for small children because children generally do not know how to stay quiet, calm, and gentle around rabbits."

1. The cited article at the end of the paragraph makes no such conclusion or contains such wording; children "do not know how to stay quiet, calm, and gentle around rabbits."

2. The cited article, in fact, states something quite different, that rabbits for children may or may not be a good choice.

3. No where does it make the harsh conclusory statement as above. It appears to be the editor's opinion.

4. The cited article's author in fact writes a compelling account of how her child at 2 years old (at the time the article was written) grew up with a pet rabbit and as an adult (19 years later) is better for the experience. The article also lists many enrichment activities for children who have a rabbit in the home, including infants!

5. I propose the following rewrite of the line based on information contained in the cited reference:

"Rabbits can make excellent pets for children provided proper precautions and adult supervision and commitment are in place when young children are involved. " Truthsleuther (talk) 05:26, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

I believe the statement is based off the reference, which does state ...rabbits are rarely a good choice for a small child (younger than 7 yrs.). The natural exuberance, rambunctiousness, and decibel-level of the average toddler is stressful for most rabbits. ^Avic_ennasis @ 09:37, 4 Elul 5771 / 09:37, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

 Not done: Agree with Avicennasis, the source on the paragraph does have that conclusion in it. --Jnorton7558 (talk) 10:07, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

Article in need of creation and interpretation.

I thought this is a spectacularly good article. Totally outside of my expertise, and I don't speak German. Do you have any suggestions as to whom I could recruit? Rabbits in the arts, German Wikipedia Thanks. Discospinter says: "I agree that it's a good article to have in English, to expand on Rabbit#In culture and literature and List of fictional hares and rabbits." Please also take a look at Three hares, which I have worked on and which is about as close as we get. Just a thought and a gentle request. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 18:50, 11 September 2011 (UTC)
