I've been wondering if one breed of rabbit is more intelligant than another
As an adult my only experience of rabbits was of Pippa and MJ who are rather lovely cuddle bunnies. However since putting them in their new hutch/run they have shown themselves to be rather dim - it took them weeks to figure out how to use the ramp and they still don't seem to realise their food is in the hutch, instead they are starving and I have to hand feed them in the run or grab and push up the ramp. They have never made any effort to escape either their shed, pws run or their present hutch/run
In contrast I also have Teddy and Jemima. Both of these bunnies needed no showing how to use the ramp, they know where their food is, if you open the lid of the run they will both try to escape (Jemima by standing on a pet carrier as a launchpad) and they just seem more 'intelligent' than Pippa and MJ which has led me to wonder if lop rabbits are dimmer than other breeds :lol:
