Rabbits and Hares

Rabbits can be skittish around other animals and may display a range of behaviors including hiding, thumping their hind legs, or even charging if they feel threatened. They are generally social animals and can form friendships with other rabbits or animals if properly introduced and given enough space. It's important to supervise interactions between rabbits and other animals to ensure their safety.

One answer:

You watch way to much south park.

The snowshoe hare in temperate regions changes its fur color from brown in the warmer months to white in the winter. This change, called molting, is triggered by the amount of daylight and helps the hare camouflage in its environment to avoid predators.

Feed them enough food. Do not keep male rabbits together. Even better, don't keep rabits together, put them in separate cages.

Every rabbit needs it's own cage. They are very territorial and will fight if they do not have enough space.

Primary Consumer. They are at the bottom of the food chain.

It's best to keep them in separate areas to prevent any potential harm to either animal. With proper supervision and introduction, they may eventually tolerate each other's presence. It's important to prioritize the safety and well-being of both pets.

Chicken wire is a good wire to use when building a rabbit hutch- I don't know if you in the USA have the same name for it that we do here in England, but I'm referring to that type of flexible wire with hexagonal spaces between the strands that is usually sold in rolls. It's flexible, allows good ventilation, has thin strands that allow the rabbits to put their noses through to sniff the air and make them feel less encaged, but at the same time is galvanised, so is strong and cannot be bitten through. It's also easy to brush down when cleaning out the hutch, and does not trap old straw and other waste products so is healthier for the rabbits too. It can also be used in building runs for them. I have kept rabbits and guinea-pigs for many years, and have always found that chicken-wire is the best value buy.

Eastern cottontails are generally not harmful to humans. However, they can cause damage to gardens and crops by eating plants. In some cases, they may carry diseases that can be transmitted to humans or pets, so it's best to avoid direct contact with wild rabbits.

It depends on the type of rabbit, however most rabbits have two front (incisor) teeth. The common placement of these incisors is either one on the top and bottom, or two on the top and none on the bottom.

It is not necessarily rare for a rabbit to have a litter of 7 babies, as they can have litters ranging from 1 to 14 babies. However, the survival rate of all 7 babies to adulthood can be challenging due to various factors like predation, disease, or lack of resources. It is important to observe from a distance and let the mother care for her babies naturally to give them the best chance of survival.

Bunnies typically start venturing out of their nests around 3 weeks old. They are still very young and may not stray far from the nest at first, gradually exploring their surroundings under the mother's watchful eye. It's important not to disturb bunny nests, as the mother may abandon them if she senses danger.

Jackrabbits are wild hares. Wild animals should mostly be left alone. Many people find baby rabbits or hares and assume they've been abandoned, when in fact they haven't been -- their mother is just off somewhere, getting food or something. Unless you're positive a baby rabbit or hare has been abandoned or is ill or injured, and unless you know exactly how to take care of a baby rabbit or hare and know how to get the necessary supplies, it's best to leave the animal where it is -- otherwise, you're dooming the poor thing to a short, miserable life. It's extremely difficult to take care of a wild animal and provide for its needs, especially if it's a baby. Caring for injured, ill, or abandoned wild baby animals should be left up to experience wildlife rehabbers.

There is no known existing species of man-eating rabbit squirrels. Any reports or myths about them are likely fictional or exaggerated.

Compared to most other animals, rabbits have big ears.

It is not recommended to house female rabbits with male guinea pigs. They have different social structures and communication styles, which could lead to stress or misunderstandings between the two species. It is best to house rabbits with other rabbits and guinea pigs with other guinea pigs for their well-being.

yes.

yes, bunnies are great pets! i have 2 myself and at first they may be a little vicious but they grow out of it. plus they are really cute!

This, of course, is a matter of opinion. I personally think that rabbits are the ideal pet, but they may not be for you. Before you get any pet, you should thoroughly research it and the time/money/care you have to put into it. As for rabbits, though... I see them as a kind of cross between a cat/dog and a hamster. They've got a lot more personality than a hamster, like a dog or cat (they'll play with you, cuddle you, lick you, you can take them for walks, etc) and they can run around your house, but they're similar to a hamster in pretty obvious ways (they live in a cage, they chew things, you have to clean their cage, they don't make a lot of noise). Rabbits can hold their own with cats (my cats are actually afraid of my tiny little 3 lb dwarf rabbit), especially if it's a big rabbit...just get him neutered...and most cats will cuddle up to and even groom rabbits. I, personally, have never had a rabbit around dogs, but with some training your dog should be fine (but make sure to keep your rabbit safely in its cage when introducing them!), or, if its a big rabbit (some, like the flemish giant, can get up to almost thirty pounds...bigger than some dogs), he'll probably be all right. But, again, take precautions and do more research on these kinds of things before introducing your rabbit to other pets. Rabbits (especially small ones) can get stressed out really easily, too, by the way, so consider that. Rabbits are pretty delicate animals, so they are not good for small children, who can get rough. However, the bigger the rabbit, the more they can take care of themselves.

All in all, I think rabbits are the perfect pets... They're cuddly and playful, yet they don't need constant attention. But please, please, PLEASE, do your research before getting a rabbit, or any pet, to make sure it's right for you. If you do decide to get a rabbit, I recommend getting one from your local shelter. They will neuter the rabbit for you and make sure it's in good health, plus, you'll be giving a needy rabbit a home. I've heard people talk about getting rabbits from a breeder for upwards of a hundred dollars, or spending tons to get their pet neutered, but I got my netherland dwarf from a shelter for $30, all health costs included.

A rabbit's age is roughly calculated as 15 human years for the first year and 10 human years for the second year. Therefore, a 2-year-old rabbit would be about 25 in rabbit years.

you have to hit the bunny three times but my brother hit the bunny really hard with the snail shell and only had to do it once or twice.

A rabbit is a herbivore, meaning it primarily eats plants and vegetation. Their diet consists mostly of grass, hay, and leafy greens.

It is usually not advised to keep two male rabbits together, especially if there are females nearby. However, if the pair are acquired together as youngsters, like littermates, and neutered before they reach sexual maturity, the chances for successful cohabitation greatly increases.

The only way to get a female rabbit pregnant is to introduce her to a male rabbit. If you do not want to buy another rabbit, you could consider temporarily fostering a male rabbit for breeding purposes. Breeding should be done responsibly and with careful planning to ensure the health and well-being of both rabbits and any resulting offspring.

you must let rabbits sstay with their mother for at least 6 weeks prior to sepertaions, but separation should be avoided as rabbits like their mothers.

If any sign of strict agression develpops between rabbits, you should separate them immediately.

As of 2015, the Guinness Book of Records said it was Darius, who lives in England with his owner, Annette Edwards. By some accounts, Darius weighed about 70 lbs. and was more than four feet in length. Darius is a member of the Continental Giant breed of rabbits, and they tend to grow quite large (though generally not as large as Darius did).
