sourcing
we use four sources, in order of weight:
- named contributor input — quotes, photos, and columns from real SG rabbit owners with permission documented in the repo
- public peer-reviewed material — Rabbit Welfare Association & Fund, ASPCA, House Rabbit Society, plus SG-specific sources (NParks, AVS, exotic vet websites) where the topic is local
- community-discussion themes — recurring questions and answers in public SG owner spaces. we capture themes, never republish posts. we never name members.
- our own owner experience — clearly attributed when used
we do not pull from FB groups via automation. we never republish member posts.
medical content
every health, illness, or symptom post:
- starts with “this is community-sourced information, not veterinary advice”
- includes “see a licensed SG exotic vet” in the first 100 words
- ends with a link to our vet directory
we never name diagnoses, dosages, or treatments. we describe what owners commonly do, point to peer-reviewed material, and route readers to a real vet.
attribution
named contributors get:
- a byline on the post
- a photo credit on any photos they supply
- a link to whatever they choose (social, shop, blog)
- and a permanent listing on the contributors page
community-discussion themes are attributed as “owners commonly ask” or “a recurring question in SG owner spaces is” — never to a specific member.
fact-checking
every post has published and last_updated dates. we re-check posts:
- when GSC or Plausible flags a ranking drop or a click-through anomaly
- when a contributor or reader sends a correction
- on a 180-day rolling cadence regardless
corrections are made in-place with a one-line ## update {date} note when material.
affiliate programmes
we participate in:
- Shopee Affiliate (SG)
- Lazada Affiliate (SG)
- iHerb Affiliate (international)
every page with affiliate links includes a footer disclosure. clicking an affiliate link never changes the recommendation — we recommend products we’d choose ourselves. if a brand pays us, it goes on the featured tier and is clearly marked as a paid placement.
ai content
we use Claude and Codex for drafting, copy editing, and structuring posts. every post is reviewed by a human before publishing. AI-generated drafts pass through the humanizer step before publication. AI is a tool, not the author.
we never publish unedited AI output. we never republish AI-generated photos as if they were owner photos.
directory listings
base listings are free, forever. featured listings ($30/month) are clearly marked. featured tier is capped at 5 listings per category. featured status does not change a base listing’s content, only its placement.
if a clinic closes, raises prices materially, or develops a pattern of bad reviews, we either
update the entry or remove it. reasoning is logged in the entry’s notes field.
privacy
our newsletter uses Buttondown (PDPA-compliant, double opt-in, unsubscribe in every email). we do not sell your email. analytics is GA4 + Plausible, with IP anonymisation enabled.
