Rabbits and Hares

If you mean, can there be a cat-human hybrid, then no, absolutely not; the genetic material is too different for the two to combine successfully.

Humans can, of course, have children, and cats can have kittens, but the two cannot combine to form a cat-human chimera.

If a rabbit freezes in his tracks, it usually means he/she hears something unusual. Their have very precise hearing much like a dog.

Usually you don't want to wean baby rabbits if the mother rabbits is feeding them. For orphan rabbits about six to eight weeks old if they still wanting to be fed you can start diluting their milk. Like 75% milk and 25% water and gradually diluting it more and more until the babies loose interest in eating milk. But they will need to have pellets and water in their pen when they are about 3 weeks old!

No you should not feed your sugar gliders rabbit food. They have a very specific diet they need to remain healthy.

I have two male sugar gliders. I researched on the internet quite a bit to get a proper diet for them.

I use this daily:

3 fresh veggies (Chopped very small)

3 fresh fruit (Chopped very small)

Sprinkling of crushed monkey biscuits

5-10 small meal worms

1 teaspoon of Leadbeaters mix:

The Leadbeaters mix is a frozen mixture of:

1/2 cup Apple juice

1/2 cup honey

3/4 cup hi-protein baby cereal

1/4 cup wheat germ

1/4 cup sweet potato - grated

1/4 cup carrots - grated

1 hard boiled egg w/ shell

1/2 teaspoon Rep-Cal reptile vitamins

1 turkey&sweet potato baby food / 2 1/2 ounce jar

Clover is a legume green, which means it's high in protein and calcium. Too much will make your rabbit sick, but a little bit (a few bites) is fine as a treat. Clover is excellent for baby rabbits over 12 weeks, and pregnant/nursing rabbits, because they need the extra protein. Baby rabbits of any age and pregnant/nursing rabbits can also eat clover hay.

If you're picking clover from your yard or another outdoor place, consider whether it may have pesticides, pollution (like car exhaust), or any other chemicals on it, because these things can harm your rabbit. Also, other animals (like raccoons, cats and dogs, and any wild animals) may have left behind parasites on the clover, and these could also make your rabbit sick.

They can live in or outside. but rabbits should be able to spend a little time outside for exercise. In winter i bring mine in because it gets a bit cold outside but in summer time i leave them out with fresh grass and water:) hope this helps.

They help with overflow of plants, vital for the food web, and are, well, sometimes needed to survive in wilderness areas -when there is no food (they're sometimes good to eat you know).

Also, without them, the whole food chain would get messed up and there would be too much grass and the animals that eat rabbits would then die of. The animal who ate that animal would die off and more animals would become extinct.

When it is 4 weeks old you can gradually introduce solid food. When it is 8 week old, it should be off mums milk and fully weaned.

The weight of a snowshoe rabbit is about 5 pounds. Wild rabbits and hares are leaner because they need to be fit to run away from predators such as foxes. Domestic rabbits are about 8 or 7 pounds!

As far as I know, it is illegal to keep any wildlife animals. This includes birds, anything that is alive in the wild.

The reason for this is to keep the wild life population correct. Rabbits also breed a couple times throughout a year and if you catch a wild rabbit, the babies may die without the parent.

Even if you find a baby rabbit without the parents you are supposed to contact the TWRA.

I work for animal relocation services, for nuisance animals, so I do know people who do keep wild animals as pets but you always take the risk of the animal dying from stress.

Hope this helps.

rabbit spray is naturally a cross between yellow and orange but if rabbit is ill it can look a little like blood with a tint of orange.

Yes they do move.

They will sleep for long periods of time and will jump in their sleep occasionally like puppies do. They will also start to jump if it is around feeding time and they sense the mom is in the box or close. They will also make a squeaky kind of grunting noise at feeding time.

Rabbit kits begin testing out their hay and pellet feed at about 3-4 weeks, during this time they are still nursing & need their dam's milk to develop into healthy rabbits. Does generally begin weaning the kits, refusing to nurse, at around 6-8 weeks - sometimes depending on the size of the litter.

Breeders of commercial rabbits tend to wean slightly earlier than "Fancy" rabbit breeders. Meat fryers are (usually) weaned from 5-6 weeks, while pet/fancy/show breeders may wean kits from 6-8 weeks.

Best Wishes!

Yes, 10-month-old rabbits can eat lettuce. Rabbits can start trying (in small amounts) fresh, dark-coloured leafy greens at the age of 12 weeks. From 7 to 12 months, rabbits should be gradually transitioning to an adult's diet. Dark-coloured lettuces are healthy for rabbits in moderation: too much can lead to illness (diarrhoea). Dark lettuces can be included into the rotation of daily "salad" greens, but they shouldn't be fed every day, and the daily salad shouldn't be made-up of only lettuce (include other greens like carrot greens and dandelion). White and light-coloured lettuces should be avoided entirely because they're low in nutritional value and even small amounts can lead to diarrhea.

• Long and strong claws to dig apart burrows of rodents
• Third inner eyelid which helps protects the eyes when digging
• Thick and loose coat to protect skin against the teeth of a biting predator

they can but I would not recommend it since they have very delicate digestive systems and diarrhea is easier to prevent than treat.

The best way to stop a rabbit spraying is to spay and neuter.

Rabbits spray urine and leave droppings to mark their territory, they are less likely to be territorial if they are not prone to large hormonal influences.

Jackrabbits are hares and look like many other hares, i.e. like large rabbits with longer legs, ears, and faces. See related link for the Wikipedia entry. There's a picture in there and if you click it, it will enlarge.

Female generally stop breeding around the age of 9 months.

That is not right at all! i do not quite know at what age they stop breeding but i know for a fact that it is not 9 months because during that age they are most willing to breed. i would guess that you should stop breeding a Doe at around two years of age!

Yes Yes, a wolf would eat a sheep. Wolves are carnivoures with big appetites, although they rarely attack livestock, they would resort to doing so if food was scarce in the forest.

A jack rabbit can run at full steam for approximately 4.679 hours straight.
