Answer:
Rabbits at rest respire mostly through the activity of the diaphragm. The threshold of lung inflation (which initiates afferent impulses that depress the vasomotor centre and cause vasodilation) is an air pressure as low as 2.5 cmH2O.

Answer:
Rabbits are obligate nose breathers due to their epiglottis positioned rostrally to the soft palate. Any obstruction within the nasal cavity will produce a respiratory wheeze with increased respiratory effort (Fig. 1). Air moves through the nostrils across the alar folds into the nasal cavity
