HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR!
2023 YEAR OF THE RABBIT!
Here's some fun facts about rabbits: A baby rabbit is called a kit, a female is called a doe and a male is called a buck. Rabbits are very social creatures that live in groups. They live in underground tunnel networks that they dig, called warrens. Their whiskers are the same width as their body and are used to determine whether they will fit through a hole, which stops them from getting stuck in tunnels. A rabbit’s teeth never stop growing! Instead, they’re gradually worn down as the rabbit chews on grasses, wildflowers and vegetables - meaning they never get too long. Rabbits perform an athletic leap, known as a ‘binky‘, when they’re happy - performing twists and kicks in mid air. They have good hearing, and sight, and an excellent sense of smell. Rabbits’ eyes are on the sides of their head, meaning they can see almost all the way around them. This helps them to keep a close watch for predators while they’re going about their business. Happy rabbits purr like cats when they’re content and relaxed. Rabbits can hop up to 15 feet. Their long ears grow up to 4-12 inches in length, rabbits can rotate their ears 270 degrees, keeping a careful listen out for predators. Carrots aren’t a natural part of a rabbit’s diet and can give bunnies an upset stomach if they eat too many. When a rabbit is alarmed, it will warn other rabbits of the danger by thumping its hind feet.
