Tips for approaching/interacting with rabbits from someone with a house rabbit 1) Try not to make loud or high pitched noises like whistling and try to avoid screaming when a rabbit approaches as they are prey animals and that sort of thing will startle them. 2) ALWAYS let the rabbit sniff your hand before you stroke it, if it hops away don't try to chase it to let you stroke it it won't work, trust me. 3) Don't stomp on the ground or jump around to much as loud noises can startle them. 4) Don't leave plastic lying around, they WILL eat it, IDK why but for some reason they like plastic. 5) Don't feed them "exotic" fruits like bananas or kiwis, just because it says on google that they "can eat it" doesn't mean it's good for them. That's pretty much it, have a good day/night/whatever, stay safe!

As someone with a PhD in rabbit sciences I agree with these.

@@AnimeFan-vo1hc between the time I wrote that comment and now I have watched RE:Zero. Not sure I would pick dieing over and over again over a nice fluffy horde of bunnies.

Will there be bunnies around in December? Or will they be hibernating?

@Artsyanimal 4 жыл бұрын

They are not wild bunnies therefore they do not hibernate.

@jokerswang 4 жыл бұрын

Rabbits don't typically hibernate, they just change coat and these are domestic rabbits that were used for testing

Most people have heard of the superstition that a rabbit's foot will bring good luck, but some cultures believe rabbits bringing bad luck! Thought to be witches in disguise, there are still some people who do not own rabbits due to this belief. For many years, sailors refused to utter the word “rabbit” on their boats lest they come to harm at sea. Meanwhile, on the Isle of Portland in Dorset, rabbits are considered to be highly unlucky. Some older residents call them “underground mutton” to avoid saying the word! One theory behind this superstition is that the Devil was meant to have been able to disguise himself as this.
