Let's denote the number of chickens as C and the number of rabbits as R. We can write two equations based on the given information: C + R = 72 (total number of heads) and 2C + 4R = 200 (total number of feet). Solving these equations simultaneously, we find there are 50 chickens and 22 rabbits in the cage.
What role did Mavis have in the rabbit proof fence?
Mavis' role was the woman who met the three girls in the film, that had run away from moore river & she let them stay the night.

What should you not feed a rabbit?
There are many foods that you should not feed a rabbit. For example, look at the list of known dangerous plants (linked below). If you have a rabbit, you might find it easier to consider what the rabbit should eat, and stick within those boundaries, instead of wondering what the rabbit can't eat (becuase the list is long!). What you should feed them also depends to some degree on what they like.
In general, rabbits shouldn't eat processed human foods, rotten or spoiled foods, seeds, nuts, dairy, meat products or byproducts, grains (with a very few exceptions), light-coloured lettuce, beans, tomato leaves, and dead grass, or processed sugars. Many vegetables, fruits, and rabbit foods are okay (at least in limited amounts), but it isn't recommended to experiment with anything else.
What is the value of a 1970 rabbit fur coat from Berman's?
The value of a 1970 rabbit fur coat from Berman's can vary depending on its condition, style, and market demand for vintage fur. It is recommended to have it appraised by a reputable furrier or vintage clothing expert to determine its current value accurately.
Can domestic rabbit bucks castrate themselves or each other?
YES!! They will castrate each other and a particularly aggressive doe has been known to castrate bucks also. (This is the reason you put the doe in the bucks cage and stand there and watch and then remove doe after she is bred.)
Why can a rabbit not have a nose twelve inches long?
Rabbits do not need a nose twelve inches long because they have evolved to have short noses that are well-suited for their lifestyle and survival needs. A long nose would not provide any significant advantage to a rabbit in terms of finding food, escaping predators, or other essential functions.
Yes and no. If you treat them badly, if you have a female and she's in heat, or you don't play with them, Yes. But most of the time, rabbits are very friendly!
Rabbits are normally very friendly, timid animals that wouldn't hurt a fly BUT they will defend their territory to the death. (Wild instinct) Every rabbit should have it's own cage (territory) and rabbits will often object to intruders into their territory (survival of the fittest) Rabbits will bite if threatened and they will scratch if scared. Rabbits are afraid of heights and if dropped will never trust you again and might bite or scratch if you try to pick them up. They will also bite if you squeeze them too tight. Fingers poked thru cages may result in a nip as your hands are salty and smell like food.
two sets of two incisers and molers to chew with the incisers are not that diffrent from a rodents as they constently grow but the diffrents is the they have a extra set of incisers behind the front
Where do dwarf lop-eared rabbits come from?
Depends on the rabbit.
Dutch:Dutch rabbit is from the Netherlands, it was actually developed in England. During the 1830s rabbits were imported to England from Ostend in the Netherlands every week for the meat market. Amongst these rabbits was a breed known as the Petite Brabancon, as it originated from Brabant in Flanders. The Petite Brabancon may still be found in paintings from the fifteenth century. The Dutch rabbit has its genetic roots in this old breed. The Petite Brabancon would often display Dutch markings, and breeders in England selected those with even markings, fixing those markings into the breed we know
English Lop:fancy breed of domestic rabbit that was developed in England, in the 19th century through selective breeding, and is believed to be the first breed of lop rabbit developed by humans[1], and possibly one of the oldest breeds of domestic rabbit[2]. Averaging 11 pounds (5.5 kg), the English Lop is characterized by its distinctively long lop ears, bold head and large body size, and can live up to five years or more.
New zealand white:100% American breed despite their name. In 1916, W.S. Preshaw bred the first litter of New Zealand white rabbits with a plan to produce a rabbit that would be excellent for meat and fur trade. The original breeds that were used are unknown, but Angoras are believed to have played some part.
Mini Lop:The Mini Lop is a very popular rabbit breed that is featured in numerous rabbit shows throughout the United States. In the USA, it is the second smallest Lop overall, as well as the smallest non-dwarfed lop. It is a different breed from the Holland Lop, which is the smallest (and only dwarf lop) of lop breeds in the USA. Its equivalent in the UK is the Dwarf Lop; however there is a breed called the Miniature Lop in that area, which is the equivalent of the Holland Lop in the United States.The main characteristics of this breed of rabbit is a short massive-looking body, a big, block-like head, lopped ears, and thick, soft fur. Breeders attempt to make it feel like a basketball with legs, a head, and a tail. Ideally this rabbit should resemble a Bulldog in appearance and tenacity.Bob Herschbach discovered the Mini Lop breed at a German National Rabbit Show in Essen, Germany in 1972, where it was known as a Klein Widder. These first Mini Lops were originated from the German Big Lop and the small Chinchilla. These two breeds came originally in Agouti and white colors.German lops were about 8 lb (3.6 kg), slender and large with thick ears. Herschbach, a Mini Lop promoter, achieved the first procreation of Mini Lops in the United States, mainly through breeding an agouti lop pair and a white female lop in 1972. Their first baby lops were solid colors. A second generation came with broken colors. As a result of the breeding process, they began to obtain a high standard of qualities Mini Lop.
there are alot more types of rabbits and were they come from.
Will a rabbit die if you spray disinffected spray?
Spraying a rabbit with disinfectant spray can be harmful and potentially fatal. Rabbits have sensitive respiratory systems and their skin can also be sensitive to chemicals. It is best to avoid using disinfectant sprays directly on rabbits and instead use rabbit-safe cleaning products if necessary.
Do hares have 2 layers of fur?
Most dog breeds don't have two layers, or a double coat, of fur. 82 out of 180 breeds have a double coat of fur. According to exactly how many dogs, not dog breeds, have two layers of fur, I would not know.
Why are rabbits not going extinct?
Rabbits are not going extinct because they reproduce rapidly, have a wide range of habitats, and are well-adapted to survive in various environments. Additionally, efforts to protect and conserve rabbit populations through wildlife management and conservation programs have helped in preventing their decline.
How often can a rabbit have babies?
Does (female rabbits) can get pregnant the very day they give birth, and gestation lasts about 30 days; so, theoretically, a doe can get pregnant once a month (twelve times a year). Practically speaking, though, no rabbit could sustain this kind of activity for long, as pregnancy and nursing takes a lot of energy.
Yes. Cats (feral, wild, or domestic) prey upon rabbits when they can.
What if your rabbit is licking the heater?
It's important to prevent your rabbit from licking the heater to avoid potential burns or electrical shocks. Make sure to keep the rabbit away from the heater and provide plenty of safe chewing toys and enrichment to redirect its behavior. If the behavior persists, consult with a veterinarian to rule out any underlying health issues causing the behavior.
Can you put cardboard in cage with rabbit?
No it is not because the guinea pig needs space to move around and the cage designed for a guinea pig is the perfect size for a guinea pig as the same with a hamster cage. NO!!!!! This is torture for a guinea pig!!! And a lot of the cages designed for guinea pigs are too small. Try building a c&c cage. They need at LEAST 7.5 square feet.
According to an article from the House Rabbit Society corn is not good for rabbits.
Actually FRESH corn is not good for rabbits just like any other food that is high in carbohydrates. The starch inside the corn kernel can get rapidly digested and cause diarrhea or other problems.
Dried corn is fine for rabbits so long as it is part of a balanced diet and incorporated into a pelleted feed. In fact yellow corn is loaded with natural carotenoids (like beta carotene) that are beneficial for rabbits. Natural carotenoids are better for rabbits than synthetic vitamin A (Lebas 2000).
Published research has compared the use of wheat, barely, and corn in the diets of rabbits and found no statistical difference in the growth performance or digestibility between the three grains. However wheat tended to cause an increase of ammonia in the caecum ( Nizza et al. 2000, and Xiccato et. al. 2002).
