Rabbits and Hares

it is a diminutive but i don't know what the diminutive is for hare.

No, Bunny Campione and Stewart Granger are not related. Bunny Campione was an English author and actress, while Stewart Granger was a British actor known for his roles in classic films such as "King Solomon's Mines" and "Scaramouche."

No, but she will have them very close together.

I am a zoologist of 15yrs. The first yr was spent on the study of rodents. e.g. their behaviour growth and breeding pattens. We found the following statement on the 3rd doe which was quite small and obviously would not of been able to cope with a large litter all at once.

If the doe feels that there is not enough food for her or her brood or the litter will be too large for her to look after and protect all at once. She will melt half the litter into her insides and suspend their growth while the rest of the litter will grow normally and be delivered. When the doe feels that there is more food and the first half of her litter is doing well, she will allow the rest of the litter to continue to grow and give birth naturally. However this is not the case for every doe's.

Well most rabbits live near a water source so that they can get a drink when they are thirsty and they will eat the bark off an tree and in the summer they will eat the roots of grass and other plants they also make a burrow to keep cool in the summer and hide from predators in the winter they hide in the burrow from predators and also to keep warm

Petco on Chenal Blvd. in Little Rock, AR. has a rabbit that appears Siamese in coloring with a rather long tail. The tail appears to be about four inches long...not fluffy....but rather like a docked dogs tail.

A rabbit is a herbivore, meaning it primarily consumes plant-based foods such as grass, hay, and vegetables. It does not eat meat, so it is not a carnivore or omnivore.

Yes, a male rabbit, or a buck, does have a tail. It may be small and fluffy, usually hidden under their fur. It helps them with balance and communication.

Baby jackrabbits typically nurse from their mother for the first few weeks of life. Once they start to forage on their own, they will eat a diet consisting mainly of grasses, plants, and some vegetables. It's important to provide them with a diet that is similar to what they would find in the wild to ensure their overall health and well-being.

well im doing reseach on the european rabbit so during the spring the mate and make babys then the dad rabbit leaves thier babys and mama and never come back.

Nature is like a system in equilibrium. If a change in any component nature, quality or quantity is imposed on it, it will try to suppress that change and try to nullify it. So if the number of rabbits increase that change will be nullified by many factors other than predators. Diseases, shortage of food etc. can happen. Also, the increase in the number of rabbits will provide a good habitat for the snakes and thereby help in more breeding. But this will happen only up to a particular limit after which there will be no more change.

Rabbits are mammals. All mammals have a body covering of skin, fur or hair. In the rabbit's case, the body covering is skin and fur.

The predators of a rabbit would be: foxes, wolves, eagles, owls, humans, bears, just about any meat-eater bigger than a rabbit who lives near rabbits.

The prey of a rabbit would have to be; the deadly plant. Grass, leaves, carrots, lettuce, etc...

A baby rabbit is called kitten or a kit or a kindle

A Kindle or to be more precise TO KINDLE is the act of giving birth to baby rabbits. It is NOT a baby rabbit.

make a sling to catch a rabbit or use a shotgun

Female rabbits can become pregnant as early as 4 months. This is not a good idea at all though.

If you are thinking of breeding your rabbit you should wait at least until she is a year old, and fully grown.

Female rabbits (does) can be bred when they are fully mature, usually 6 to 8 months. That is 18 in human years. Breeding a doe at 4 months could lead to fetal giantism and/ or death during kindling. Every rabbit should have it's own cage by age 8 to 10 weeks.

It depends on the rabbit. Some are quite comfortable sitting in your lap or very close to you. Other prefer to keep their distance. With time and patience you can teach your bunny that being held isn't a bad thing but you have to take it slow so you don't stress him/her out. I've had my rabbit for 5 years and she still will not sit in my lap but she will often sit next to me or under my chair/bed.

Also, most rabbits do not like being picked up and held while you're standing. When you do have to pick up your bunny make sure you always support it's hind legs and hold it tight against you so it can't jump out and hurt him/herself.

A few weeks old bunny should be fed a combination of timothy hay, rabbit pellets, and leafy greens such as kale or parsley. Offer fresh water at all times, and gradually introduce new foods to avoid digestive issues. Avoid feeding them fruits or vegetables high in sugar.

A rabbit's abode typically refers to its living environment or habitat, such as a burrow in the ground or a hutch in captivity. In the wild, rabbits often create burrows underground to provide shelter and safety from predators. Pet rabbits are commonly kept in hutches or cages that provide a secure and comfortable living space.

Bunnies, also known as rabbits, are small mammals known for their long ears, fluffy tail, and hopping gait. They have a diverse diet of grasses, vegetables, and fruits. Bunnies are social animals that live in groups called colonies, and they are known for their high reproductive rate.

We have two giant continental rabbits and they can hop from the ground in through the door of their hutch which is 1m 60cm from the floor. On the level they rarely hop that far I guess becasue there is no need to, but when they are running full pelt, they jump a good couple of meters if they are playing.

To take care of a rabbit's eyes, make sure their living environment is clean to prevent any eye infections. Check their eyes regularly for signs of discharge, redness, or cloudiness. If you notice any issues, consult a veterinarian for proper diagnosis and treatment. Avoid using any harsh chemicals or substances near your rabbit's eyes.

Rabbits are social animals: they enjoy company, and they benefit from living with other rabbits.

However, you can't just throw two or more rabbits together and expect them to get along. Rabbits might love or hate each other for individual reasons, just like humans. And if rabbits aren't spayed/neutered, they're very likely to either fight or breed.

Never let rabbits fight: not only can it lead to physical injury (even a small cut can turn into a big abscess, and a bad fight can be fatal), but fighting is emotionally damaging for rabbits (leading to behavioural problems down the road). Think long and hard before letting your rabbits breed: after all, there are many rabbits in shelters waiting to be adopted, and many of those shelters kill their rabbits if they aren't adopted in time, so does the world really need your rabbit to breed?

Before they can live together, rabbits must be "bonded," which means they love each other and can be trusted not to fight. The bonding process can take a long time and require a lot of patience. See the related question below for more details about bonding.

A rabbit doesn't need to live with other rabbits in order to be happy, but a single rabbit does need a lot of attention from it's human companions. Rabbits are social animals and they need social interaction every day.

Rabbits typically have litters of 4-12 offspring, known as kits. They can have up to 4-5 litters per year, depending on environmental factors and breeding conditions.

Rabbits inherit features such as fur color and texture, ear length and shape, eye color, and body size and shape from their parents. Other inherited traits can include behavior tendencies, such as temperament and activity level.

The skeleton of a horse is adapted for strength and speed with long limbs for ground clearance and fast running. In contrast, a rabbit's skeleton is adapted for agility and jumping, with shorter hind limbs and elongated hindfoot bones for powerful hopping. Both skeletons have features that enable efficient movement for their respective modes of locomotion.
