2013 journal article

Influence of environmental conditions and facility on faecal glucocorticoid concentrations in captive pygmy rabbits (Brachylagus idahoensis)

ANIMAL WELFARE, 22(3), 357–368.

By: C. Scarlata n, B. Elias*, J. Godwin n , R. Powell n, D. Shepherdson*, L. Shipley*, J. Brown *

author keywords: animal welfare; captive breeding; environmental enrichment; faecal glucocorticoids; husbandry; pygmy rabbit
TL;DR: Based on measurements of faecal glucocorticoids, pygmy rabbits are best managed in enclosures that contain soil for digging burrows, suggesting that factors other than housing influenced adrenal activity in these rabbits. (via Semantic Scholar)

2012 journal article

Relationship between fecal hormone concentrations and reproductive success in captive pygmy rabbits (Brachylagus idahoensis)

JOURNAL OF MAMMALOGY, 93(3), 759–770.

By: C. Scarlata n, B. Elias*, J. Godwin n , R. Powell n, D. Shepherdson*, L. Shipley *, J. Brown *

author keywords: captive breeding; conception; fecal glucocorticoids; hormones; lactation; litter size; mating; progestagens; stress; reproduction
TL;DR: Investigating patterns of fecal progestagen and glucocorticoid excretion in females during mating, gestation, and lactation and identifying hormonal relationships to reproductive success found higher concentrations during the breeding season were associated with reduced conception rates and survival of subsequent litters.

2011 journal article

Characterizing gonadal and adrenal activity by fecal steroid analyses in pygmy rabbits (Brachylagus idahoensis)

GENERAL AND COMPARATIVE ENDOCRINOLOGY, 171(3), 373–380.

By: C. Scarlata n, B. Elias*, J. Godwin n , R. Powell n, D. Shepherdson*, L. Shipley *, J. Brown *

author keywords: Brachylagus idalioensis; Cortisol; Hormones; Pregnancy; Progesterone; Pygmy rabbit; Reproduction
MeSH headings : Adrenal Glands / metabolism; Animals; Chromatography, High Pressure Liquid; Feces / chemistry; Female; Gonads / metabolism; Immunoenzyme Techniques; Male; Pregnancy; Rabbits; Seasons; Steroids / metabolism
TL;DR: The spike in progestagens 1 day after mating was a significant discovery for this species and appears to provide a reliable means of determining if a successful mating has occurred, suggesting a possible link between heightened adrenal activity and lowered reproductive fitness in pygmy rabbits.
