Mine became over weight and the vet suggested less pellets ( too many pellets is not good for a rabbit), more greens and fresh veggies, at least two cups. Also, more exercise.
There should always be hay. For rabbits that are over a year old, they should be given 1/4 to 1/2 cups of pellets for every 6 lbs. of body weight and a minimum of 2 cups of veggies for the same body weight.
I heard on the local news that moose cannot digest the rich alfalfa we may be tempted to leave out for them. The chemical contents of their digestive juices changes during the winter, to be able to digest twigs, stems and heavier stuff. When you feed them alfalfa it may fill their stomachs, but cannot be properly digested, and so the animal may die of starvation even with a full stomach. I don't know if this is true for grass hay as well.
Rabbits can eat plum, but not too much, and not the pit/stone inside. Plum is a good treat food for rabbits. The House Rabbit Society recommends no more than 2 tablespoons of natural treat food per day for a healthy, normal 6 pound rabbit. See the related question below for more info about the rabbit diet.

How does a female pygmy rabbit mate with their male?
Rabbits are small mammals in the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, found in several parts of the world. There are eight different genera in the family classified as rabbits, including the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus), cottontail rabbits (genus Sylvilagus; 13 species), and the Amami rabbit (Pentalagus furnessi, an endangered species on Amami Ōshima, Japan).

A hurt baby bunny small hole under it's ear what should i do besides take it to a vet or pet store?
There may have been many things that caused the hole, but there is a possibility that the bunny was shot by someone playing Elmer Fudd, and it got away. If you can get it to a vet who works on wild animals (without being bitten), great. If not, there is a good chance that the bunny will recover on its own. Keep an eye on it.
How far away can a rabbit smell?
Well it really depends mostly on how much you care for it/them. The main source of smell is in the hutch or cage, that is why you should clean out your guinea pigs a minimum of three times a week. Obviously all animals can smell whilst doing the toilet but my two male guinea pigs don't give off many bad smells. Hope this helped a bit

Rabbits change their color. In spring, their fur is brown, and in the winter their fur is white.
This is more of how to be accepted amongst them. As much as to attract them. To begin with, wolves aren't really attracted to anything much accept a female in heat or a dead body. As I said, not much. But being accepted is another thing. Just submit yourself if you are trying for a low acceptance. But if you are willing to put your life on the line, well, do something that gets the leader's respect. But do realize you may be making a mistake
read Julie of the wolves. she has a lot of tips on how to attract wolves like staying low on the ground, never raising your head above the lead wolf and never staring into his eyes.

How long does it take for bunnies to have babies?
females are pregnant for about 28 days (gestation) and give birth to 3-8 young in a nest built underground or under thick grass and lined with grass and fur.

Yes, but only give them a small amount. Carrots are high in sugars and starches and too much can make a rabbit ill. Carrot greens are great for rabbits and can be included in the rotation of "salad" greens, but the carrot itself should be limited as a treat. The House Rabbit Society recommends no more than 2 tablespoons of treat food per day for a normal, healthy 6 pound rabbit. See the related questions below for more info and helpful links.

When you train a rabbit, be firm. Don't hit or spank the bunny, but don't be too lenient either. Use a treat like pieces of carrot, broccoli, celery, apples, and pears. ONLY give your rabbit the treats stated above. Others might not be edible for a rabbit. ONLY give the treat when the rabbit has reached your expectations. If you give the treat when the rabbit has not done the trick or command, the rabbit will think he had done the right thing and ignore you the next time. Training sessions should last 5-10 minutes.
What do jack rabbits like to live?
A rabbit's diet should be made up of good quality pellets, fresh hay (alfalfa, timothy or oat), water and fresh vegetables. Anything beyond that is a "treat" and should be given in limited quantities.
Rabbits were not designed to live on wire floors--they're hard on their feet (which have no pads on the, like cats or dogs). If you must use a cage with a wire floor, you need to provide your rabbit with a resting board or rug for her to sit on, otherwise she will spend all of her time in her litter box.
By nature, rabbits choose one or a few places (usually corners) to deposit their urine and most of their pills. Urine-training involves little more than putting a litterbox where the rabbit chooses to go. Pill training requires only that you give them a place they know will not be invaded by others. Here are some suggestions to help you to train your rabbit to use the litterbox
