Why do you never see your rabbit sleep He never seems to sleep and when you walk in the room at anypart of the day or night he always seems to be awake?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Rabbits have a unique sleep pattern called polyphasic sleep, which means they sleep in short bursts throughout the day and night. They have an instinct to be alert and attentive, so they have periods of light sleep where they can easily wake up. Even though you may not see your rabbit sleeping, it is likely getting plenty of rest in these short intervals.

Do rabbits eat rose bush leaves?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, rabbits in the wild will readily eat roses, both the flowers and leaves of the plant. In fact rose buds are particularly sweet and succulent, and even humans occasionally enjoy them. However, the leaves are somewhat more fibrous than many other plants and are most likely harder for a rabbit to digest.

Since there are several more easily digested and nutritious plants and vegetables readily available, rose leaves are lower on the list of items one would regularly feed to a pet rabbit. If yours happens to like them, there's no reason why the occasional sprig of fresh leaves wouldn't be a welcome addition to their diet.

How often can you feed bunnies parsley?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Carrots are high in sugars and aren't very healthy for rabbits. Carrot greens are very healthy and you can safely include those as a regular part of your rabbit's daily "salad." The carrots themselves, though, should be limited as a treat food. The House Rabbit Society recommends no more than 2 tablespoons per day of treat food for a healthy, normal 6 pound rabbit. Ideally, rotate the treats you serve, otherwise that would be pretty boring for your rabbit. Other treats include fruits and vegetables like berries, apple, and squash. Too many carrots can lead to illness in rabbits. See the related question below for more information.

Another answer: Personally i feed my rabit carrots everyday :) also some pastley and for treats apples and banana

Is it possible for two rabbits to share one litter box?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

no.on mother will kill the other litter when she produces hers if in a small box.

but in a big box they might but chances are they will get into a fight

Well, I know that you mis-understood the question. You can litter box train 2 rabbits to the same box if you train them at the same time and they are young. Older rabbits use going to the bathroom as ways to MARK their territory. That is why even a litter box trained buck MIGHT start spraying all over the house. He is marking his territory.

What are the signs of rabbit phantom pregnancy?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You can usually tell if a rabbit doe is pregnant within a few days after conception. She will become moody and more aggressive due to hormone fluctuations. You'll also be able to feel her nipples growing. And she may begin 'nesting' behaviour, such as piling up bedding in hidden places (other than her normal resting spot) and plucking fur from her neck and chest to line the nest.

A doe should not exhibit the above 'symptoms' until she is close to kindling, at least half way thru her pregnancy. If she starts nesting activity too early it is probably the signs of a false pregnancy. Does do not start to make milk until they are about 20 days into their pregnancy.

How active is a pet cottontail rabbit?

User Avatar

Asked by Splashstorm

As pets, Cottontail rabbits are much less active than domestic pet rabbits. They don't like to be caged, but when they are out of their cage they just sit there. They don't play with toys and generally don't walk/run around a lot.

If you have a shy Cottontail, he would sit in places where he is hidden. A non-shy rabbit will occasionally sit out in the living room with the family.

Do pregnant rabbits hump other rabbits?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Rabbits exhibit 'humping' behavior as they reach sexual maturity. They don't care about age. Actual humping behavior is acting out their future sexual behaviors. Rabbits are actually capable of procreating at 4 months. There is a difference between immature humping and actual sexual intercourse. I'm not sure which you are referring to.
