What is Rabbit Heart by Florance and The Machine about?
"Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up)" by Florence and The Machine is about the struggle between embracing freedom and the safety of conformity. The lyrics speak to the fear and excitement that can come with stepping outside of one's comfort zone and choosing personal growth over staying still. The repeated phrase "This is a gift, it comes with a price" emphasizes the idea that taking risks and pursuing one's desires often involves sacrifice.

Can you put cardboard in cage with rabbit?
No it is not because the guinea pig needs space to move around and the cage designed for a guinea pig is the perfect size for a guinea pig as the same with a hamster cage. NO!!!!! This is torture for a guinea pig!!! And a lot of the cages designed for guinea pigs are too small. Try building a c&c cage. They need at LEAST 7.5 square feet.
According to an article from the House Rabbit Society corn is not good for rabbits.
Actually FRESH corn is not good for rabbits just like any other food that is high in carbohydrates. The starch inside the corn kernel can get rapidly digested and cause diarrhea or other problems.
Dried corn is fine for rabbits so long as it is part of a balanced diet and incorporated into a pelleted feed. In fact yellow corn is loaded with natural carotenoids (like beta carotene) that are beneficial for rabbits. Natural carotenoids are better for rabbits than synthetic vitamin A (Lebas 2000).
Published research has compared the use of wheat, barely, and corn in the diets of rabbits and found no statistical difference in the growth performance or digestibility between the three grains. However wheat tended to cause an increase of ammonia in the caecum ( Nizza et al. 2000, and Xiccato et. al. 2002).

No, you can't give your rabbit a bath in the bathtub.Anyway, it's a very bad idea. Here's why:
It's not usually a good idea to bathe a rabbit at all.Rabbits are clean animals and they wash themselves. Baths can be very traumatic for rabbits, and for other reasons the rabbit can become ill from a bath. So, it's best not to bathe your rabbit at all. If the rabbit is dirty, then you should give it a bath -- but you should also find out why it's dirty and treat the cause! Unless you're absolutely positive your rabbit is healthy (for example, maybe it just jumped into a mud puddle before you could stop it), then you should bring the rabbit to a special vet who has experience and knowledge with rabbits.
If you do need to give your rabbit a bath, you should not do it in the bathtub.
- One reason why not: the floor is so slippery, the rabbit will become anxious, try to get out, slip and panic, and a panicking rabbit can easily injure itself.
- Another reason: leaning over the edge makes it difficult for you to handle the rabbit safely and securely.
- A third reason: A bathtub is big, and big spaces make rabbits anxious; it's better to keep the rabbit more enclosed (anxiety can make the rabbit panic and injure itself, also it makes it more of a traumatic experience for the rabbit).
- A fourth reason: the water pouring from the tap may not be temperature you expect (especially in older buildings), and you could accidentally burn or chill the rabbit.
- A fifth reason: the water pouring from the tap is loud and splashy and can stress the rabbit out (leading to panic and anxiety).
For all these reasons, it's best not to use the bathtub; instead, use a baby bath, or a foot bath, or some other small and shallow container; and fill a jug with water to use for pouring and rinsing.
If you have to bathe a rabbit, you should follow specific instructions so that you keep the rabbit safe. See the related question below for more details.
A rabbit keeps digging food out of its dish why would it do that?
Short answer, boredom. Or your rabbit may be seeking a favorite grain if you feed a grain in addition to a rabbit pellet. Solution get a feeder that hangs from/through your rabbit's cage (they have a wire bottom which allows dust to filter off the feed) and hang about 6 inches up from the floor. This may not be a total solution but will help considerably.

No. Rabbit pellets are too low in fibre, especially the kind of fibre that wears down the rabbit's teeth; they're also too high in protein and fat to be the only source of food.
