Meet the rabbit
Rabbits are social animals who live in burrow networks called warrens and leap and twist — a 'binky' — when they feel joyful.
🏡 Grassland and woodland edges, in underground warrens.🍽️ Grass, hay and leafy plants. They need to chew constantly — their teeth never stop growing.⏳ 8–12 years with good care.
Friends and family
Wild rabbits live in groups and groom each other to show friendship.
Mother rabbits feed their babies just once or twice a day — a super-rich meal that lasts.
How they talk
Rabbits thump the ground to warn others and purr softly by grinding their teeth when content.
How clever are they?
Rabbits learn their names, use litter trays and can run obstacle courses.
What they feel
A relaxed rabbit flops onto their side; a scared rabbit freezes completely still.
Superpower: Almost 360° sight
Rabbits see nearly all the way around themselves — but not right under their nose.
