Do rabbits like the dark

Rabbits are naturally awake during dawn as dusk, as that's when their predators are less likely to be hunting. If predators aren't a huge concern, rabbits also like to eat and play at night when there are less people around. Rabbits can see in the dark much better than humans can, so the dark's not much of a problem for them.

Some guinea pigs have red eyes (freaky!!) that means that they can see in the dark. If an animal has solid colored eyes (unlike you and me!) then that means that they can see in the dark. Message me if you have any other guinea pig questions!!

Well, guinea pigs have terrible sight in general. They are not nocturnal, so that means they go to sleep at night, like you.

Not necessarily because rabbits are nocturnal and sleep during the day when it's light.

So in answer to your question, no rabbits are not scared of the dark. :)

Can rabbits eat lettuce once in a while?

Rabbits can eat dark-coloured lettuces (like romaine, green leaf, red leaf, mesclun mix). These sorts of lettuces can be incorporated into the rabbit's daily "salad": too much lettuce, though, can lead to illness (like diarrhea). However, rabbits can't eat white-coloured lettuces (like iceberg, romaine hearts) -- these have little nutritional value for rabbits, and they can lead to illness (like diarrhea). See the related question below for more info about the rabbit diet.
