Rabbit: Frequency of Suckling in the Pup
1 Departments of Biological Sciences and Psychology, Purdue University, Lafayette, Indiana 47907
Rabbit does were given free access to their young, access once a day, and access twice a day. In all three groups the young were nursed only once every 24 hours. Growth curves for the pups from day 2 of age to day 30 were identical for all three groups. The restriction of suckling to once a day appears to depend on the mother and not the pups.
