Rabbits and Hares

Rabbits do not experience early labor in the same way that humans or other mammals do. Rabbits typically give birth to a litter of babies all at once, and the process is relatively quick once it starts. Pregnant rabbits may dig a nest and prepare for giving birth, but they do not go through stages of labor like humans do.

A doe rabbit can absorb her kits at any stage of pregnancy, usually due to stress or health issues. If your rabbit has milk but no signs of babies, it could be a false pregnancy. A vet check is recommended to rule out any underlying health concerns.

Rabbits do eat flowers, and they will eat almost any vegetation if what they like best isn't available. Wild rabbits do eat zinnias but they are not a rabbit's first choice.

Flowers are not a regular part of a healthy rabbit's diet. If you feed flowers to your pet rabbit, consider them a treat only. See the related question (linked below) for more information.

Marsh rabbits primarily eat grasses, sedges, aquatic plants, and some small shrubs. They also consume fruits, berries, and certain types of vegetables when available. Insects and small invertebrates may supplement their diet as well.

To protect a nest of bunnies with their mom, keep human interaction to a minimum and avoid disturbing the nest area. Place a barrier like a small fence around the nest to deter predators like cats and dogs. Ensure the nest is well-hidden and not easily accessible to keep the bunnies safe.

Most rabbits reach sexual maturity at around 3-5 months of age. Sometimes she might become aggresive, mount other females, pant or become really nervous/twitchy. But sometimes she might not even show signs and one day u will end up with a rabbit farm

English rabbits eat the same fruits (and food generally) as all rabbits. See the related question below for more info.

The Smith Island Cottontail is a rare subspecies of rabbit found only on Smith Island in Maryland, USA. They are smaller than most other cottontails and have a unique genetic variation that sets them apart from other similar rabbit species. The Smith Island Cottontail is a critically endangered species facing threats from habitat loss and predation.

No, bunnies are not nocturnal, but they sleep with their eyes open. You can tell if one is asleep by if it moves it's heads around, scratches itself, or blinks. If one does do any of these things, then your little furry friend is still awake!:)

The wild cats and the members of the act family are the predators that would decapitate a rabbit. They include the leopard and the cheetah.

Wild Rabbits usually live in a grassy, and wooded areas. Usually you will find rabbits anywhere, but most love to live in the country/rural areas.

Wild rabbits are herbivores that mainly feed on grasses, clover, and other leafy plants. They also consume bark, twigs, and buds. Their diet is high in fiber to aid in digestion, and they are known to graze for several hours a day.

Black tar-like poo in rabbits can be a sign of internal bleeding or ingestion of a toxin. This is a serious condition that requires immediate veterinary attention. Lack of appetite in a rabbit can also indicate a critical issue. Please take your rabbit to a vet as soon as possible for a proper diagnosis and treatment.

Yes, a rabbit can get sick and die from getting soaked in water. The rabbit might get hypothermia from being wet; or it could go into shock or GI stasis from being highly stressed - any of these situations could lead to death if the rabbit isn't quickly treated by a vet with experience and knowledge in treating rabbits. See the related questions below for help.

I just read a very good article that covers most of your question:

Now for roses, I know when I offer my little boy rose leaves he eats them voraciously. I read though that leaves contain many oxilates that cause kidney problems, so they should not eat them often.

If you're talking about wild rabbits? In the wild they may eat your garden veggies then if they have a tummy ache they will eat a dandylion or mint for their troubles. I have read that cayote or raccoon urine sprayed around the garden will keep rabbits out.

Yes, hay is excellent for rabbits! Hay is a great way to keep a rabbit's teeth healthy (they keep growing, and need to be worn down by something!) and digestive system healthy (hay is high in fibre), and a great way to keep them entertained and occupied (rabbits like to graze). Rabbits should have 100% 24/7 unlimited access to fresh hay.

Fresh hay is greenish (some varieties more than others), sweet smelling, no mould or moisture, and low dust. Avoid hay that's been sitting on the shelf for months.

Good hay for adult rabbits is grass hays like timothy, brome, orchard grass, meadow grass, and oat grass -- although oat grass is a little high in sugars and shouldn't be offered too often. Legume hays, like alfalfa, are not good for healthy adults. Alfalfa is an excellent hay for young rabbits (under one year old), nursing rabbits, pregnant rabbits, and some rabbits who are underweight or have been very sick and need the extra protein and carbs.

The cottontail rabbits diet includes grasses, fruit, vegetables in springand in summer they also eat twigs, dogwood, thornapple, and other planted shrubs will supplement their winter diet. Mixing these shrubs with spruces, junipers, jack pine, Canada yew, balsam fir, black or white spruce, hemlock, or other conifers which retain their lower branches will increase protection. Half-acre food patches of corn or grain sorghum will provide high energy food.

Yes. They need to be kept warm since their mother doesn't sit in the nesting box with them like cats and dogs do. If you do use a heat lamp you need to be very careful that the babies do not get overheated. They are very sensitive to temperature.

The hare's population would decrease if the number of predators that eat the hare increased. Take the Lynx for example. In 1865, The population of hares in the forest was almost over 150. But 1 week later, the population dropped by 50 due to more lynxes in the forest. Another reason might be because of migration. Migration might have happened because the hares were simply frightened. Hoped this helped :D

A rabbit can escape from a raccoon by running away quickly, utilizing their speed and agility to outmaneuver the raccoon. They may also seek shelter in a burrow or dense vegetation where the raccoon cannot easily reach them.

It will sleep in shade or its cool burrow. They will stretch out to full size, lay down, and close their eyes. They only sleep an hour 30 minutes to an hour everyday!

If a rabbit is a brat it is NOT the rabbits fault...you should have spent more time w/ it. To streangten a relationship: Take your rabbit out of it's cage and let i wander the floor; Do NOT TRY TO HOLD IT, let it do it's own thing. At first your rabbit may want nothing to do with you but after it my come over to say hello. start from there and move forward P.s. this will not happen over nite
