Rabbit is the general name for all the genera under the mammal family.
Rabbits have long tubular ears, a short rounded tail, and strong hind legs that are much longer than the forelimbs, which facilitate the rabbit's jumping.
Rabbits are distinguished by their size into three types: large rabbits, medium-sized rabbits, and small rabbits.
Large rabbits weigh about 5 to 8 kg, medium-sized rabbits weigh about 2 to 4 kg, and small rabbits weigh about 2 kg or less.
The rabbit's body can be divided into five parts: head, neck, trunk, limbs, and tail.
The outer surface has a coat of hair that serves as insulation.
Rabbits are also very timid animals and sudden noises or strange animals such as cats or dogs can make them panic.
If we keep rabbits, we should try to avoid any noise that would cause them to panic.
It is also important to avoid strangers, dogs, and cats entering the rabbit house.
The rabbit's sense of hearing is very acute and its sense of smell is sensitive, but it is timid and very good at running away.
Rabbits are herbivorous.
In general, rabbits should pay attention to the provision of food, because young rabbits do not feel full.
Vegetables are not recommended for young rabbits as they are prone to enteritis and can only be provided appropriately for adults.
Rabbits are also divided into young and adult rabbits. Both are fed 2 times in the morning and 2 times in the evening, twice a day.
If you need to change the brand of food, you can slowly let the rabbit adapt to the process of changing food.
Remember not to change the rabbit's food directly, as this may also cause discomfort.
Discomfort may also cause injury or death to the rabbit.
If the rabbit starts to bark then it means that the rabbit is now very upset and angry.
This usually occurs when the rabbit is unhappy with the owner's behavior or with the behavior of another rabbit.
For example, if a rabbit doesn't like to be held and touched, it will bark.
If you don't stop behaving that way, then you may have to be bitten by it.
If your actions make the rabbit feel threatened, you may face being bitten if you do not stop that action.
A rabbit's scream is similar to a mouse's scream, and like humans, it usually represents fear or pain.
If we suddenly hear a rabbit scream, then we should always pay more attention to it, because in this case the rabbit may be injured.
If the rabbit is grinding its teeth loudly, which means it is in pain. It is best to take the rabbit to the vet.
A gentle grinding of teeth means that the rabbit is content and happy. When a rabbit is gently grinding its teeth, if you touch the rabbit's jaw, you can clearly feel the molars grind together.
At this time, the rabbit's eyes are usually half open.
When a rabbit makes a gnashing sound, it means that it is in pain.
At this point, the rabbit will usually sit up with its body bent and its ears back against its body.
Knowing this knowledge about rabbits will make it easier for you to raise rabbits afterward.
