What does jackrabbits eat?

In the summer they eat mostly green plants and flowers that are high in water content, so they do not require much water. They will also eat sagebrush and cacti. In the winter, they don't hibernate, and mainly eat shrubs. Jackrabbits are constantly eating and consume large quantities of food relative to their size. Fifteen jackrabbits eat as much food as a large grazing cow in one day. In agricultural areas the jackrabbit may become a pest to farmers by eating their crops.
In winter the diet of the jackrabbit is based chiefly on bark and buds of bushes, and in summer it prefers to eat tender grasses. In very dry periods of the year it will eat cacti, which are quite plentiful in some parts of its range.

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."

Do rabbits eat human meat?

I heard of Bunnies liking raw meat as well.

I have also heard to put little pieces of raw hamburger meat or cooked bacon in the mother rabbits cage a couple days before she has babies and a little while after so that she does not eat her kits.

I am not sure though if cooked or raw meat is good for rabbits. I would ask a vet.

With regards to HUMAN meat, why don't you try cut a piece of flesh out of yourself and see if a rabbit would eat it. (What an awkward question!)

Can a rabbit be pregnant with more than one litter at once?

i truly don't believe so

Correction: From my research i believe they can. This is because rabbits have two ducts leading to their ovaries. They can be pregnant with one litter in one duct and a few days or a couple weeks later get pregnant with another litter in the other duct.

Improved: I've also heard that despite that the above correction is correct, the babies do not always make it. I'm not too sure why this happens, but I think it's because mal-nutrition, or some sort of deficiency or something. I think this only happens when they doe kindles tpo both litters in under a few days apart.

What does Down the Rabbit Hole mean?

~Its refering to alice in wonderland when she went down the rabbit whole and everything went crazy.

-ben

it also is a term for using or taking drugs because you get high~

Unfortunately this above information is wrong.

Going down the rabbit hole in physics terms is how far are you willing to discover your true nature. Example would be, Why are we here? what is the meaning of life? How did we get here? Did we evolve? Were we once part of another world? Alice and wonderland gives you an example, once you go down everything goes crazy. Well there's a lot more to Alice and Wonderland's meaning then you think. The real challenged maybe is trying to get out of the rabbit hole once your in it.....

Try watching a documentary called "What the bleep do we know: Down the Rabbit Hole" that should answer all your questions

aactually the first answer refers to the book down the rabbit hole.
