Reliability of body condition scoring using the Rabbit Size‐O‐Meter in companion rabbits ( <i>Oryctolagus cuniculus</i> )

Intra-rater reliability of the RSOM was high but inter-rater reliability was limited. Modifying the body scoring system and validating the RSOM against objective measures of adiposity are recommended.
