Articles
Rabbits are prey animals. This means a lot of things:
- They are built for speed - they have high muscle mass and low
skeletal mass, which means they are delicate and easily injured, even
from their own struggling when they don't want to be handled. They
can kick hard enough to break their own bones or even their back.
Please see Handlng.
- They hide illness and injury - this may attract predators who will
go after the easiest target - this means that you may not be aware of
a problem until it is well along. See
Health and
Behavior.
- They are quiet - since making noise would give them away, they
communicate in many ways that don't make noise. See
Behavior.
- They are not assertive about their needs - humans keeping prey
animals must pay attention to a lot of things, including subtle
signals, to assess their pets' overall well-being
- Fear can cause a bunny to have a heart attack, even if the threat
is not real
- Stress can have long-lasting effects even after the stressor is removed
- Most rabbits do not like to be picked up - prey animals prefer to
have their feet firmly on the ground so they can run away if they feel
the need
- In order to have a good relationship with your rabbit, you must
first gain its trust, and this is something you can't rush - let the
bunny get used to you, get curious about you, and eventually he will
come check you out and ask for attention. Never break the trust your
bunny has in you or it could take a very long time to get it back.
- Never chase a bunny unless it is an invited game of "chase"
- Never yell at or hit your bunny
