Rabbits and Hares

It depends on how many there are in the litter. Like if there are three she will probably keep it, but if there are six she might abandon it. Remember every mother is different.

My Rabbit killed hers, she had 3 in her litter, and she dragged him out side of the nest!

Still if your mother rabbit is feeding the rabbit, then it is not a runt!

Yes, in the wild rabbits live in colonies called "warrens." Domestic rabbits, however, can't live with other rabbits -- unless they're spayed/neutered -- because they tend to either fight or breed with each other.

Rabbits are generally considered by those who look after them to be intelligent and social creatures.

Most rabbits are able to understand the "should and should nots" of family living. They can learn some limited commands such as No and understand when they are praised, but are cat like in choosing to obey or not. Rabbits communicate mainly with gesture and other body language.

rabbits don't go into a trance when you lay them on their backs. you have to train them to stay in that position and they have to really trust you. normally if you turned a rabbit on its back, it would kick at you and turn back over.

your rabbits may not have lived together before or not for a while this makes them claim their own territory and don't want to share it try putting a wire cage frame in the middle of their home with each rabbit either side so they can't fight for a week every day swap the rabbits round to get used to eachothers smell after a week take the wire frame cage away if they carry on fighting try the same for a little while longer

The value of rabbit fur can vary depending on factors such as quality, color, and market demand. Generally, rabbit fur pelts can range from $5 to $20 each for common breeds like New Zealand White rabbits, while specialty breeds like Rex rabbits may fetch higher prices. Additionally, processed rabbit fur products like hats or coats can command significantly higher prices.

No, that behavior does not necessarily mean they want to have babies. It could be a sign of dominance or mating behavior, but it does not guarantee successful reproduction. It's important to monitor their interactions and provide them with a suitable environment if you are planning on breeding them.

Depending on the care any domesticated rabbit receives (male or female), they can live up to 7 years. For example, a healthy outdoor rabbit (kept in a rabbit hutch year round) can live up to 2 to 3 years. A healthy indoor rabbit can live up to 7 years. All pet rabbits should be given the proper diet and care. For more information visit the related link below.

Yes, rice is bad for rabbits. Rabbits don't eat grains, seeds, nuts, etc. Rabbits eat hay (or, in the wild, grasses and twigs), leafy weeds and herbs, occasional vegetables and fruits, and pet rabbits also eat pellets. See the related question below for details and links about a healthy rabbit diet.

Jack rabbits are most active during the early morning and evening, so they typically sleep during the heat of the day and late at night to avoid predators. They may also take short naps throughout the day to conserve energy.

No, snowshoe hares are not cold-blooded. They are mammals, which means they are warm-blooded like humans, capable of regulating their body temperature internally. This ability helps them survive in cold environments.

Normally a 600-700 fps air rifle will kill a rabbit at around 30-40 yards away. So this will include a .22 caliber air rifle or if your looking for something with less power that will just kill birds, try looking for a .177 or .20 caliber air rifle but if you are looking to hunt game like rabbits go for .22

Lop rabbits are a domesticated breed of rabbit that can be found in homes and rabbitries worldwide. They can adapt to a variety of living environments, including indoor cages or outdoor hutches, as long as they are provided with proper care, food, and shelter.

Dogs generally have a better sense of hearing than rabbits. Dogs have a wider range of hearing frequencies and can detect sounds from farther distances than rabbits. Additionally, a dog's ears are designed to pick up a wider range of sounds compared to rabbits.

No, the Black-tailed jackrabbit does not have a pouch. Pouches are typically found in marsupials like kangaroos and wallabies to carry their young, while rabbits are placental mammals and do not possess pouches for carrying their offspring.

Yes, a rhino could potentially eat a rabbit if given the opportunity. Rhinos are herbivores and primarily feed on grasses, fruits, and leaves, but in unusual circumstances or captivity, they may consume other small animals. However, it is not a common part of their diet in the wild.

Yes, rabbits can eat nasturtiums. In the gardening community, nasturtiums are reputed to repel rabbits from your garden because rabbits hate them so much; however, they aren't toxic, and some bunny owners say their bunnies love them!

Many flowers can be a nice treat for bunnies, but don't let your rabbit gorge on flowers because they aren't as high fibre as hay. Rabbits should eat lots and lots of hay every day to keep their teeth and digestive system healthy, and if they gorge on flowers, they may "spoil" their appetite.

Bunnies protect their young by creating burrows underground, which serve as safe havens from predators. Adult bunnies will also fiercely defend their young by using their strong hind legs to kick or by making loud warning calls to deter threats. Additionally, bunnies rely on their camouflaging abilities to hide their nests and young from predators.

A cottontail is a type of hare, and hares need to remain lean to flee from fast predators. So they don't eat much. During dawn or dusk, when it is a little bit safer, it feeds on grass, dandelions, occasional berries, weeds, clovers, and any edible plant material without toxins.

Yes, the Angora rabbit has similar adaptations to other rabbit breeds, including its keen sense of hearing, fast breeding rate, and ability to dig burrows for shelter. However, Angora rabbits are specifically bred for their soft, long wool, making their coat an additional adaptation for surviving in cold climates.

The common rabbit is the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus), which is widely distributed in Europe and has been introduced to other parts of the world. It is a medium-sized mammal known for its long ears, powerful hind legs, and burrowing behavior.

Rabbits do not hibernate. They are not true hibernators, but are crepuscular animals, meaning they are most active during dawn and dusk. Rabbits remain active throughout the winter, relying on their burrows and thick fur to keep them warm.
