 This
year is the Year of the Rabbit. Rabbits are cute and lovely. They are
symbols of wisdom and wealth. They also make wonderful pets. In fact, many people keep
pet rabbits at home. But do you know what they eat and how long they
live for? Read on to learn some interesting
facts about rabbits!
Rabbits are plant-eating mammals. They love eating
carrots and other plants.
But baby rabbits drink their mother’s milk for the first few weeks.
They are born without any hair and cannot
see or hear, either. A baby rabbit first
opens its eyes about two weeks after it is born. Rabbits can live
for more than 10 years.
Rabbits are active at night and have
excellent night vision. Rabbits have 28 teeth
and their teeth continue to grow throughout their entire lives. If a rabbit’s
teeth grow too long, it cannot eat and will die. This is why rabbits
chew on everything around
them to keep their teeth short.
Rabbits eat their own droppings because the droppings
contain nutrients that they need
to stay healthy. Rabbits are sensitive to heat. They sweat only from the pads of their feet and ears.
If a rabbit thumps one or both of its
back legs, it means it is
angry or frightened. |
