Part 1 Teeth If a rabbit naps it does not necessarily mean that it is aggressive but it may also be meant to be loving. The rabbit wants to communicate with you and that is also how they communicate with each other. There will be no doubt if the rabbit bites due to aggression. Doing so can mean the rabbit is scared or feels pain. A threatening bite can mean that it is unhappy and angry and would like to tell you but does not want to hurt you. Another signal with the teeth may be that the rabbit chews on your clothes then it may mean that it is either bored or trying to make a nest but if they are gnawing and chewing in things such as furniture they simply try to grind their teeth. The loving bites are often accompanied by licks and they do this because they try to wash the owner's "fur". They do this with each other and the behavior often inflicts on the owner. When a rabbit grinds its teeth it can both make them feel safe and joy for example when they are cudd...

Valentines day - The day of love  Today is Valentine's Day which means that we must show our love for the rabbits. And which way is better than giving them lots of pets and treats? We gave them some goodies that were shaped like hearts. When they had eaten what they wanted from the hearts they were allowed a walk in the backyard. We tried to show our love for both rabbits in the best possible way without coming rushing and hugging them. It must be a day filled with love and not a day filled with malaise and irritation. It's important that the rabbits are doing well even if humans have events that we would like to celebrate with our lovely furry family members. They were so happy when they found out that we had opened the door to their Rabbit Run. Of course they should explore the entire yard but at the same time they enjoyed the sun and the nice weather. It was a perfect day for Valentine's Day. When we gave them food we put both their salad and their pellets in hearts tha...

Facts We would like to tell you 10 facts about rabbits that we think are fun and that could possibly be used in your daily life with the rabbit. Good to know before you read the facts: rabbit and hares belong to the family called leporids. Fact 1 Rabbits and hares are different from rodents in that way that they have four more upper teeth instead of just two and they have fur on their feet. Fact 2 Rabbits and hares can breathe only through their noses.  Fact 3 Like rodents the front teeth of leporids keep on growing throughout their lifetime so they have to keep these sharp and short by gnawing on food or objects such as wood.  Fact 4 Rabbits and hares may seem like they only have four toes in their front paws but they actually have five. The fifth one called the dewclaw does not touch the ground like dogs.  Fact 5 The most distinguishing features of leporids are their long ears which normally grow over 4 inches (10 centimeters) long. T...

Winter food What do you really need to give your rabbits during the winter period when there is no grass? We rabbit owners tend to give our rabbits a lot of grass because it still looks green and lush but it can go really wrong if we do. When it's winter it's very important not to give your rabbits grass as the frost has gone in it too many times. and has destroyed it then the rabbit can no longer tolerate it. It's true that the grass has a high sugar content in the winter because the grass no longer uses nourishment to grow because it's dark and the temperature is so low that it no longer grows but it can however make sugar when the sun shines but instead it stores in the plant. This results in our rabbits getting a stomach ache and not doing very well and maybe they will no longer cooperate with us. Well, now to what you can give the rabbit instead of grass. It is always very important that the rabbit always has access to hay and straw from libitum and this is esp...
