by Sandi Ackerman. .A rabbit's diet should be made up of good quality pellets, fresh hay, (alfalfa, timothy or oat), water, and fresh vegetables. Anything beyond that is a treat and should be given in limited quantities. Pellets should be fresh, and should be relatively high in fiber (18% minimum fiber).
Supplement. In scientific experiments, the use of controls allows to study one variable or factor at a time. It is, however, important that both the control and other (experimental) group(s) are exposed to the same conditions apart from the one variable under study.
By definition, all experiments involve manipulation of one or more independent variables, and observing the effect on some outcome (dependent variable). Experiments can be done in the field or in a laboratory. They can involve human or animal subjects. What distinguishes the type of experiment is the degree to which the experimenter can assign subjects to conditions. Three types are described here: True, Quasi- and Single-subject experiments. In a true experiment, subjects are randomly assigned to the treatment conditions (levels of the independent variable).
