What are some of the ways in which rabbits communicate with other rabbits and humans as well?

Answer 1

Bunnies communicate with body languge and sounds (vocalisations). See the related link below for more details. Rabbits can sense another rabbit's feelings.

• Thumping Hind Legs (back foot): Warning other rabbits about danger or hunters.
• Smelling Rabbits: Getting information about the other rabbits. Gets info if there female or male friend or enemie if they have met the rabbit before where the rabbit has been who they have hanged out with and what they have just ate.
• Scraping floor with claws/paws: Warning to other rabbits means dont mess with me I will fight!
• Jumping and twisting its head and body: expressing happiness
• Playing dead? a relaxed contented rabbit not really playing dead though is just on its back
• Tail out ears flat: A rabbit sticks out its tail when it is angry
• spitting: Aggresion
• Crouching: ears flat eyes buldging its trying to hide from a hunter
• Tiptoeing: Uncertain and worried about its surrounding
• Tail Upright: a girl rabbit (Doe) lifts her tail when ready for mating
• Chin rubbing: Bucks (Boys) use scent glands under their chins to mark territory
• Greeting People/Other Rabbits: Stretches head forward flattens ears and is asking for them to rub noses witch is another sign of greeting.
• Spraying urine: a buck (Boy) will spray urine to establish hutch owneship
• Lookout Position: stands on high legs to see farther and eyes stay alert
• Cooing: A doe (Girl) may coo to her young to make them feel relaxed and secure
• Growling: Angry Aggresion
• Screaming: Frightened Rabbits make high pitched shrieks
• Whining: Quiet whining rabbit is upset
• Ear position: when a rabbit lays its ears back it is frightened, and when its ears are forward it's curious

Someone put nose twitches, they need to do more searching. Rabbits have different ways of communicating with each other.

For one, if they are scared, they crouch close to the ground and then put their ears back, if they are ignoring you, they turn their backs to you. If their ears are forward, they are anxious.

They don't communicate with just thumping or nose twitches, although some of their motions consist of those.

Answer 2

Rabbits communicate with body language and by making noises (vocalisations). See the related link below for lots more details, but here are some examples:

• They communicate by thumping on the ground to show there is danger somewhere.
• They have low grunting sounds.
• When in pain, they will shriek.

Answer 3

Yes, but in a non-verbal way. As they are prey animals, they have to keep silent to avoid being caught by a predator. If you watch them, you will notice that ear and tail movements means a lot to them, as is close contact and licking. There are some things you can hear, like thumping with their rear legs ( keep out! this is my zone!) or grinding teeth (which can mean the bunny is either very happy or suffering, depending if it is loud or not), even growling. If you wish to get more info about communication in rabbits, feel free to look in books at your local library, like those written by Monica Wegler : they hold a wealth of interesting insights.

Answer 4

rabbits have a white patch under their tail, in the wild if one see's danger, it runs and all the other rabbits will see the white flash of the tail and allwill run for cover. Also eye contact is a way they communicate, as two male rabbits will keep eye contact if they are fighting. to show affection , they communicate by licking or rubbing against another rabbit.

Answer 5

Through smell (indentification), sight (showing the white of their tail to signal danger), touch (grooming), and hearing (thumping the ground to signal danger).
