Introduction
Several characteristics of the rabbit make it an excellent model for study. This will be further explored in "The History of Model Use" section of this page. Many studies have resulted in the development and improvement of various micro-manipulation techniques such as the production of transgenic rabbits. Unlike many other species such as the chick or rat, relatively little is known about the development of a rabbit. Nevertheless, it is still an appropriate animal model as the results from many experiments are significant to that of other mammals, including humans. (55)
A rabbits potential for reproduction is high, breeding from the early stages of 3 to 4 months of age. A mature female rabbit can be pregnant from 6 to 8 months in a year, producing up to 30 to 40 young in this time. (56)
