Can you put cloth in a rabbit cage?
Depends on the type of cloth. Very thin cloths, or anything thin enough to eat is not recommended with Rabbits, but something a little more durable (hand towel, wash cloth, pillow case etc) is sometimes okay. This really depends on how tame the Rabbit is, and personality. I have scene several different scenarios with my rabbits, with opposite results. My 4 month old bun LOVES towels, and would cuddle up in it all day if I let him. He likes to dig at it, toss wash cloths, and yes rap himself up in it. On the other hand, my 3 1/2 month old bun LOVES TO EAT them, amongst other things. In this case, cloths are a bad idea considering their tiny digestive tracks. Make sure your bun does not "consume" the cloth or other questionable behavior with it. Remember, they sure do love to eat!

When rabbits thump their back foot does that mean there's danger?
Rabbits thump their back feet when they think there is danger. Key word is THINK. They are scared easily by other animals, or loud noises. Thumping technically is their way of warning fellow rabbits of something "dangerous" or a possible danger.
Rabbits also thump when they're frustrated (or possibly sexually excited, or a little angry). It should be obvious by the rabbit's body language which kind of thump it means. If the rabbit looks alert, eyes wide, body taught and tense, then it thinks there may be danger around; if it's hopping around and scratching at things or playing or humping, then it's frustrated.
What is a rabbit's digestive system like?
A rabbit's digestive system is very complicated. It includes all of the pieces in a human digestive system, plus some extras. Here is some information off of http://www.dummies.com/WileyCDA/DummiesArticle/Exploring-a-Rabbit-s-Unique-Digestive-System.id-1634,subcat-PETS.html Rabbits are herbivores, meaning that they dine only on plant material. A rabbit has an esophagus, stomach, and intestinal tract like other mammals. However, because they often dine on plants that are high in fiber, they have developed a strategy for dealing with this called hind gut fermentation. This is where the indigestible materials break down into manageable chemicals. Many other herbivore friends, including horses, guinea pigs, and chinchillas, also have this specialization of the digestive system. Rabbits have a large stomach for their body size to enable them to eat large amounts of plant material quickly. They are crepuscular, meaning they eat primarily at dawn and at dusk. They don't need to eat small amounts all day long. They graze primarily in the a.m. and p.m. with little else during the rest of the day, depending on what's available, the weather, and so on. Rabbits can do nicely eating a large meal twice a day. The digestive process begins in the rabbit's mouth. The rabbit's prehensile lips grab the plant material first and then the front teeth called incisors - four upper and two lower - neatly slice off pieces of plant matter. The food is then passed to the molars (the back teeth), where it's chewed into small particles and finally swallowed. All of the rabbit's teeth grow continuously throughout its life. If he is on a good diet and receives additional materials to munch on throughout the day, he is less likely to pick something else, such as your couch legs, your bed legs, or your legs. Taking a purely scientific look at the digestive system of a rabbit reveals a fascinating process. These animals have a particularly efficient way of dealing with the indigestible parts of their plant diet. Rabbits have a very large blind sac called a cecum that is located where the small intestine and the large intestine join together. This would be in the same place as our appendix, but in the rabbit this organ is very large and contains a wonderfully diverse population of healthy bacteria, yeast, and other organisms working to help the rabbit digest his food. When the food in the small intestine reaches the cecum and large intestine, the gastrointestinal tract knows which materials to divert into the cecum for further breakdown. The materials that were already digested in the small intestine and that don't need to make this little side trip to the cecum pass directly into the large intestine as waste. This leaves the body as the little round droppings you see in your rabbit's litter box. What is happening in the cecum? The multitude of microorganisms are breaking down the indigestible fiber and turning it into digestible nutrients. In order for the rabbit to use these nutrients he must take this material and move it through the digestive tract one more time. So, at certain times of the day (which coincides with several hours after a rabbit eats a big meal) the material from the cecum is packaged up into small round moist pellets called cecotropes. The rabbit gets a signal in his brain about when these little delicacies are ready to be passed out of the body; he eats them the minute they emerge. Your rabbit will often look like he is grooming his hind end, but actually he is taking in these nutrient-rich cecotropes.
Could you give your rabbit a bath if it stinks?
If your rabbit stinks, something is wrong. Rabbits are naturally clean animals: they wash themselves and they don't stink. If your rabbit stinks, either you're not keeping it's cage clean enough (likely the cage is not big enough), or the rabbit is sick and needs a vet. See the related questions below for more information.
Baths can be dangerous for rabbits. Rabbits can get injured or fall ill from having a bath. If you absolutely must bathe your rabbit, follow specific precautions to keep your rabbit safe. See the related question below for more details.
Temperature range for dwarf lop-eared rabbit?
Dwarf lop-eared rabbits should be kept in an environment with a temperature range of 60-70°F (15-21°C). Make sure to provide a warm shelter for them during colder months and avoid placing their enclosure in direct sunlight or areas that get too hot.
How many fruits should a rabbit eat in a day?
Too many fruits can make a rabbit sick. Fruits are optional treat foods in a rabbit's diet. The House Rabbit Society recommends no more than 2 tablespoons of fruit a day (or other treats) for a normal, healthy 6 pound rabbit.
Can a bunny live in a cage outside?
Yes, provided it is safe from predators, has a proper cage, and doesn't get too hot. It is safer to keep a rabbit inside the house, but make sure you bunny-proof your house, for you, your house, and your bunny!
What age does a female lionhead rabbit have to be to be bread?
Female lionhead rabbits can be bred once they reach maturity, which is typically around 6-8 months of age. It is important to ensure they are in good health and at the appropriate age before breeding to prevent any complications.
Rabbits mostly eat hay, grass, and leafy greens as the main part of their diet. They also require a small amount of pellets and fresh water daily to stay healthy. Treats like fruits and vegetables should be given in moderation.
All pet rabbits eat the same foods. Breed doesn't make a difference. See the related questions below for details about what rabbits eat: the information there is true of all pet rabbits, including American Blues.
In Summary:
Personal preference does make a difference in rabbits - just like with humans. Through experimentation, you can find out what foods your rabbit likes, and what she (or he) doesn't!
Make sure you only give your rabbit safe, healthy foods to eat. The mainstay of the rabbit's diet should be lots and lots of hay, with some pellets daily, and a salad of dark leafy green vegetables. Other vegetables and fruit are good treats.
Although rabbits like foods that are high in sugars and starch, these aren't good for them. Don't give your rabbit any foods made for people, like bread, cereal, oatmeal, cookies, crackers, etc. Most store-bought treats are unhealthy, too. Some store-bought treats are okay, but they're more expensive than fruit so why waste your money?
A bad diet leads to poor health, behaviour problems, and illness. Don't risk your bunny's health for no good reason: stick to what you know is safe.
What kind of meat did the t rex eat?
According to the reports that have been published by the Zoology Society, the Tyrannosaurus Rex's hunted like the lion rather than scavenging like the hyena. This therefore means that the T-Rex did eat fresh meat of their prey.

Pet rabbits can vary in size depending on the breed, ranging from 2-20 pounds. Small breeds like Netherland Dwarfs typically weigh 2-3 pounds, while larger breeds like Flemish Giants can weigh up to 20 pounds. It's important to consider the size of the rabbit when selecting a breed that best suits your living situation.
Rabbits can eat some leftovers like fruits and vegetables, but it's important to make sure they are safe and not toxic for rabbits. Foods like chocolate, caffeine, and sugary or salty items should never be fed to rabbits. Always research which foods are safe for rabbits before offering them any leftovers.
Yes, bunnies can have twins. It is common for rabbits to give birth to a litter of kits, ranging from one to several babies. Twins are not uncommon in rabbit pregnancies.
It's best to contact a local wildlife rehabilitation center for guidance. In the meantime, you can keep the babies warm in a box with a towel or blanket and offer them a small amount of kitten milk replacer using a syringe without a needle every few hours. Avoid feeding cow's milk, as it can be harmful to them.
