I guess they're like dogs where some are gentle by nature, and others you have to explicitly train not to devour every newborn baby in sight

so related but a bit of a tangent, there's this one guy living in frigid Minnesota or Wisconsin or somewhere subarctic who is training a water monitor to hunt small game with him.

Warning, video does include the lizard catching and killing a small rodent. You can train just about any animal, within reason.

Slightly related but my grandma had a long and antagonistic relationship with chickens, ducks, and geese. She absolutely hated the things because she grew up on a farm and as the youngest was responsible for feeding them and they would peck and swat at her every time. When one of my cousins went vegetarian she said "I understand your reasons but I will never not eat poultry because I need to get them back."

She passed away last month and we just finished cleaning out her apartment so I'm feeling sentimental about her stories.

e: when she was old enough to help her mother chop their heads off she said she enjoyed it probably too much.

Hi, have a video of my three legged rabbit Cleo exploring this morning's maze setup, rearranging it to her liking to open up some speed paths, and then at about 1:00 turning on the afterburners and doing her best to make a fourth leg optional. She's fast as gently caress and cool as heck and I love her.

Are rabbits more prone to biting their owners than, say, rats, because it seems like they could take your finger off like a carrot

Rats aren't really prone to biting if they're trained well. I've had six of them over the years and only got bit once. The one that bit me was an adult we took in from a shelter. He never became affectionate and had clearly been traumatized by lovely owners.
The time it happened he'd managed to escape and was hiding behind a closet so when I pulled it out and tried to hold out some lettuce he chomped my finger instead. Got a tetanus shot just in case.

Anyway.

I had 4 good rat buddies over the years. I also was only bitten once, but even with those odds I feel like teeth and jaws five times the size could have led to permanent damage, which is why I asked about the bunnies

Well yes, I'm pretty sure a rabbit could gently caress your finger up worse. There's also the fact that they are much less domesticated so it's probably more likely. They take way longer to train to be social.
Every time I've been to my local pet store and gone to the room with rodent cages pretty much every animal has been sitting at the back of it's cage and looked suicidal. The rats on the other hand will rush up to the front to sniff your hand.
It's thanks to them being the animal mostly used in various research during the generations that they naturally want to hang out with humans.

This is a very blessed account.

This made me curious about veterinarian demographics. 64% of vets are female and 85% are white.

And women get paid 1/3 less, on average.

if you were to pick the least diverse profession in the United States, you might be tempted to pick something like carpenter, or construction worker, something like that, but no.

The least diverse job, by far, is speech pathologist. Speech pathologists are ~96% female, and 92% white. It's so bad if you google "speech pathology diversity" you get a bunch of articles published, in like medical journals saying "hey guys, its probably actually a problem there are literally no men in this field, for the same reason we need female doctors." At a certain point you need people who can understand and relate to those gender specific problems, and lacking that diversity limits your pool of expertise.
