Rabbits don't get excessive appetites.
Excessive thirst can be a sign of illness (urinary disorder, kidney disease, dehydration, Diabetes), but eating too much food is not a known sign of any common rabbit illnesses.
Rabbits are grazers, which means they both need and want to eat on and off all day long. Rabbits need food in their system all the time to keep their digestive tract working. It's also fun and emotionally stimulating for rabbits when they graze. These are some reasons why it's widely recommended that rabbits have access to grass hay all the time (other reasons are that chewing hay helps keep their teeth worn down, and the high fibre content is good for their digestive system). If rabbits have hay to graze on whenever they want, they won't overeat pellets or vegetables (which can lead to serious problems), and they won't be hungry or have "excessive" appetites.

Can young bunnies eat Alfa-Chews?
Alfalfa is very healthy for young rabbits under 7 months old. From 7 to 12 months, the rabbit should slowly transition to an adult rabbit's diet (from alfalfa hay to grass hay). Healthy adult rabbits shouldn't eat alfalfa (except maybe in small occasional portions as a treat): adult rabbits should eat grass hays instead (like timothy, orchard, meadow, brome, etc). Alfalfa is too high in protein for adult rabbits, but it's perfect for growing baby rabbits; it's also sometimes good for sick/underweight adults, pregnant/nursing rabbits, and other adult rabbits who need extra protein for some reason. Alfa-Chews that are made of 100% alfalfa hay are great for young rabbits (under 1 year); if they contain other ingredients, though, they may not be healthy and should be avoided unless you know for sure they're safe.
How did rabbits help Leonardo Fibonacci to explain the Fibonacci number system?
The scenario is as follows : The numbers represent adult pairs of rabbits. I will also include pairs of juvenile rabbits as numbers in brackets eg. (1). Each month, every pair of adult rabbits produces a pair of juveniles. It takes one month for each pair of juvenile rabbits to reach breeding age. Certain assumptions are made : 1) No rabbits die. 2) There are always an equal number of males/females. Month 1 : 1 (0) - You have one pair of adult rabbits Month 2 : 1 (1) - The adult pair breed Month 3 : 2 (1) - The adult pair breed again, and the juvenile pair grow up Month 4 : 3 (2) - The 2 adult pairs breed, and one juvenile pair grow up Month 5 : 5 (3) - The 3 adult pairs breed, the 2 juvenile pairs grow up Month 6 : 8 (5) - The 5 adult pairs breed, the 3 juvenile pairs grow up. If you look at the growth pattern for either adult pairs or juvenile pairs, you find the famous Fibonacci series : 1,1,2,3,5,8,...,...
