Rabbits' behaviour in the spring
Now it's finally spring and the sun has started to warm again. It also means that the rabbits get a lot more energy because they are happy and get the necessary vitamin D, which they lack in winter. They can express their joy by making binkies and jumping happily around you. Warmth and sun make most people happy, and doesn't that apply to you too?She-rabbits also start to build nests as soon as they notice the weather's changing. They think they've to have kittens that they need to provide, but since we assume that they're not supposed to have kittens, they will still build nests and feed it so it's warm. They will most likely choose to build it in a cave or other dark hiding place that they can just find. Therefore, make sure the rabbit has a good place it can build her nest, even if it does not have cubs, but that's just what it imagines. This is called false pregnancy. Sometimes you may see the rabbit picking fur bumps from her stomach, but fear not it's completely harmless and your rabbit has complete control over what she is doing. She takes wool under different places on the stomach for use as in the nest, but also because it has become too hot to have winter fur, so it must go off anyway, and then it can as well be used for the nest, right?
