If its a pet rabbit they are showing they want to lie down together. If its a wild rabbit, then its trying to stay very still so the other rabbits won't notice it.

How do you talk to a rabbit?

You have to understand their body language. If your rabbit grunts or tries to pee on what its grunting at it is saying "I don't like when you do that. I'm mad" If a rabbit is mounting another rabbit, the rabbit on top is saying "I'm the dominant rabbit. I'm in charge here." If the rabbit on the bottom is staying still, it is saying "I know you are in charge." If the rabbit on the bottom is trying to get on top, it is saying "You are not in charge, I am." If your rabbits are not fixed, these mounting behaviors might mean they are mating. If your rabbit has its ears flat back on its back and you are petting it and the rabbit is staying still, it is saying "That feels good. You are making me calm." If you stop petting your rabbit, and it nudges or nips you, it is saying " Why did you stop? Keep petting me." If your rabbit is laying down it is saying "I am tired. I am calm" If one rabbit is laying down in the same cage as another rabbit it is telling you "I feel calm with this other rabbit. They are not a threat. I can trust them." If two or more rabbits are laying very close to each other or next to each other, they are saying "This other rabbit is my buddy. I trust them very much." If one rabbit is grooming the other, it is saying " This rabbit is my friend."

Can a rabbit chew another rabbit's fur?

Rabbits groom themselves and their friends with their tongues, so it's very possible that one rabbit might end up chewing and even consuming another rabbit's fur.Fur balls are very dangerous in rabbits! Rabbits can't vomit like cats can, so a fur ball can lead to a blockage in the digestive track and to a quick and painful death. If you have a rabbit, research gastro-intestinal stasis (aka ileus) so that you know how to avoid fur balls with a healthy diet, and also how to treat a digestive emergency, before it's too late. (See the related links and questions below.)Rabbits also might end up consuming another rabbit's fur because of fighting. You should never let rabbits fight. (See the related question about rabbit aggression linked below.)
