The discovery that indoor animals like pets and test rabbits suffer from vitamin D deficiency wasn't really a test at all - it was accidental.
But a report from the American Journal of Veterinary Research is highlighting the very real health problems that occur while living with a lack of sunlight - for animals and humans.
In rabbits (test subjects or pets), low vitamin D levels lead to cardiovascular issues, weak immune systems and poor dental health - similar to humans. Test rabbits growing up in a lab fare worse; vitamin D deficiency is even skewing test results.
