Comment 1: While I find the majority of the new Guide an excellent resource I have concerns over the change in cage height requirements for rabbits. The increase in height from 14 to 16 inches seems arbitary. The additional two inches places an undue burden on facilities to replace existing caging systems which are typically less than 16 inches high and does not enahnce animal well being.
