	Urban Legends Reference Pages: Pregnancy (The Rabbit Test) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The origins of the "rabbit test" lie with the discovery in the 1920s that a woman starts producing a hormone known as human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) shortly after a fertilized egg implants itself in the uterine wall.
		Thus the "rabbit test" was born, and with it the misconception that the rabbit's death was an indicator of a positive result.
		Later refinements to the test enabled clinicians to inspect the ovaries without having to kill the rabbits first, but as the example cited above demonstrates, the misconception that the test rabbit died only if the woman was pregnant is still with us today, even though the "rabbit test" itself is not.

	Rabbit
		Rabbits have excellent eyesight, hearing and smell. The position of the eyes allows rabbits to see on both sides, thereby increasing their ability to spot danger from more angles. Known as monocular vision, most prey animals have this visual arrangement, as opposed to predator species, which have binocular vision.
		Rabbits are famous for their prodigious ability to reproduce. With a gestation period of only 26-30 days, female rabbits may produce up to 6 litters in one year, and litter size averages between 4–5 kits.
		Rabbits have many natural enemies and face various dangers that keep their populations down. The rabbit’s predators include crows, weasels, opossums, hawks and owls, foxes, and snakes. In fact, up to 40% of a horned owl’s diet may consist of rabbits. Other substantial threats include loss of habitat, farming practices, diseases, cars, roaming cats and dogs, and hunters.

	FemFatalities.com: Protecting Women and Animals // The Rabbit Test: Dying to know if you're pregnant? They used to...
		Rabbits were so commonly used that pregnancy tests generally became known as rabbit tests, and “the rabbit died” meant that someone was pregnant—although the rabbit was killed in either case.
		That’s why the archaic animal test was replaced by in vitro tests like the ones used in modern-day home pregnancy tests (first developed in the late 40s).
		This convenient test can be performed in privacy, in minutes, using an over-the-counter device that costs only a couple of dollars—and no animals are used.

		Rabbits, because of their hypersensitivity to irritants, continue to be used for testing primary skin irritants, rubefacients, counterirritants, photosensitizers, eye irritants, and other allergens.
		The limbus amelocyte lysate test is a alternate assay to the pyrogen test.
		Rabbits appear to be particularly useful for research on the interrelationships of hypercholesterolemia, immune complex damage to the endothelium, and the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis.

		Requests for the replacement of the rabbit pyrogen test by the LAL test in the field of antibiotics (178) and biologicals (179) have led to a revision programme for the corresponding monographs (24 in total).
		Comparison with the pyrogen tests that are currently used is recommended: comparison with the IAL test is sufficient for endotoxins, whereas the rabbit pyrogen test is at least required for the testing of the non-endotoxin reference materials.

		Quiz as a test could be a corruption of the Latin Qui es, meaning "Who are you?" American Heritage says it may be from the English dialect verb quiset, meaning to question.
		The term rabbit test dates to 1949 and is a reference to an early form or pregnancy test.
		Actually, the rabbit always died as the laboratory had to kill the animal to examine the ovaries (later on techniques were developed to spare the life of the rabbit--after which the rabbit never died).

	Alternatives to Pain: Thirteen
		After testing thousands of biomaterials in succeeding years and comparing the tests with the rabbit implants, it turned out that the tissue culture was actually more sensitive than the implant.
		Rabbits, as we have seen, are a favorite subject for testing irritants on eyes and skin, and cited below are excerpts from Annual Reports to the Dept. of Agriculture under the Animal Welfare Act of companies which were among the largest users of these rabbits.
		The standard tests to determine the value of potential painrelieving drugs are skin-twitch and tail-flick (rats and mice) using radiant heat, the hot-plate, and the "writhing test." In the last-named, "mice are given phenylquinone, intraperitoneally, and after a few minutes begin to writhe and stretch their abdomen from injection of this irritant." (CJSDA/APHIS,1973,Warner-Lambert Res.Inst.).

	Wordwizard Clubhouse - the rabbit is dead (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Jan, I haven’t heard it around much lately, but it was not too long ago that the RABBIT TEST and the THE RABBIT IS DEAD (or THE RABBIT DIED) were commonly used expressions for ‘a pregnancy test’ and the ‘the test is positive — you’re pregnant’ (‘viola you’re pregnant’ (<:) — see up the duff).
		The RABBIT TEST, which was developed in 1927, actually was commonly used to test for pregnancy until fairly recently.
		However, the rabbit wouldn’t die as a result of the injection, which was the common implication, but because it had to be killed and dissected so that the folks in the laboratory could examine its ovaries.

		First we test balance of width to depth - the width between the hind legs should be at least 3 fingers wide- they should not be cow hocked- if you feel those hocks hitting your fingers there could be a problem.
		In the second test the rabbit should have one finger width between the bone of the ribs and the bone of the hips- if you can get more fingers in between those bones, the rabbit is too long in the mid-section.
		In these two pictures we are testing balance of length of leg to length of stomach- which interestingly enough should be the same-- we measure the length of the hind foot from the hock to the toes.

		The rabbit test isn't used much anymore, and feeling a need to conserve the neurons I hadn't studied the matter too closely.
		Frankly I had the idea that the death of the rabbit signified a positive result; i.e., you were pregnant.
		In the rabbit test and other pregnancy "bioassays" (animal-based tests), you injected some of the woman's urine into the critter and observed what happened.
