interesting facts about bunnies

[jenzel5]

I am writing a talk for rabbit owners and was wondering if anyone could share some facts about rabbits that you have learnt since having bunnies that are interesting or you think wasn't common knowledge. :wave:

Rabbits eat their own poo straight from their butts! - that was a strange thing that I didn't know...

Rabbits can carry 2 litters of babies at once if mated with during pregnancy! - that really was a 'wowza' to me!

Rabbits sometimes sleep with their eyes open.

My bunny was just lay on his back with his feet in the air, I thought he was dead and his eyes were open! Anyway as I approached him he jumped back up, I think he was having a snooze

Bunnies can dream. And have nightmares.

One rabbit will defend another who is sick. You would think being a prey species it would be 'Everybun for himself!'

Rabbits know when they're being naughty, as proved by the 'bum wiggle'.

Rabbits flick their ears if annoyed at u! Will also turn their back to u for same reason - mainly a neither land trait I think !!!

The root of a carrot should only be fed to bunnies as a treat.

I'm sure you'll be able to word that better than I can

Is it true a rabbit can be put in a trance by laying him on his back?

Bunnies do about 200 poops a day!

Bunnies do about 200 poops a day!

...More like 200 thousand! :lol: Or at least that's what it seems like.

Rabbits should eat a ball of hay at least the same size as them every day.

Rabbits are highly social creatures and need a rabbit friend.

Rabbits need a lot of space and should have a minimum of a 6ftx2ft living space attached to a 8ftx4ft exercise space.
