        I was looking at Wilkipedia’s domestic rabbit and rabbit articles and I found some alarming information in there, like talking about keeping rabbits outside in a hutch. I edited it out and tried to quickly write in some other information Housing Info about free roam, X-pens, and Condos. However I’m not the best person to do this. BinkyBunny, do you think you would want to copy some of your information in there? Please feel free to delete some of the stuff I quickly wrote in. I was just trying to come up with stuff to delete over the horrible section on outdoor housing. 



        The sections that need attention are:

        -Housing: We need NIC condo pix 

        -Need a section on Litter Box training

        -Need a section on the importance on neutering

        -The “Acquiring a rabbit” section totally needs attention! Needs to talk about adopting! Not buying from breeders!

        -Diet section needs editing



        BB, I also added your website on the external links section hehe. And a few pictures of my rabbits

          I think this is a great idea. Even from a quick glance, I noticed the importance of rabbit experienced vets was drastically downplayed by the text that said most medical emergency procedures required are the same across pet species. I added a clause remphasizing rabbit vets.

          Also added spay and neuter needed for bonding.

            I added some notes about a rabbit’s proper diet, emphasizing the importance of hay. Wick, maybe add a note about what the bonding process is? I’m not sure if it’s mentioned elsewhere in the article.

              I agree this should be done.

              Though I wonder if another wiki page is warranted
              ie. If you look up wiki cat the page isn’t littered with breeding specifics and disturbing imagery

              When you look up wiki rabbit you get cottontail, European and domestic. The domestic page has general knowledge, history, breeding specifics on genes, a wealth of info on the meat rabbit industry, and the tiniest sprinkling of house rabbit info. It’s bizarre with some disturbing photos.

              I feel like there should be different pages (all talk no action) like:
              Cottontail
              European
              Domestic breeding (like show rabbits)
              Industrial breeding (meat & general sadness)
              {And finally}
              Domestic Pet

              Domestic Pet is where the wealth of Binky Bunny knowledge, HRS best practises and the truth about rabbit welfare should go.

              Anybody got the time to make this happen?

                If you look at the “Talk” page for the article on domestic rabbits, people have been discussing splitting off the information on pet/house rabbits into a separate entry since – wait for it! – 2005. Actually, I think anyone editing the article ought to read through the “Talk” page, since a lot of what’s discussed there is relevant to what we’re trying to do.

                P.S. On reading through the “Talk” page, be prepared for a substantial debate in editing/fixing that page. A number of the previous editors are…shall we say…less than sympathetic to the “house rabbit” movement.

                  Just because they’re not sympathetic for the house rabbit movement, doesn’t mean that house rabbit information should be left off the page. That’s education by censorship.

                    Oh, I agree. Just be ready for a tussle to get those edits and updates in, is what I’m saying. Wikipedia is prone to those on any subject with even a tinge of controversy.
