Understanding Your Rabbit

Understanding your rabbit takes time and patience. As you spend time with your pet you will learn to recognize his preferences and personality traits. Once you understand the basics of rabbit behavior, you’ll be able to figure out how to accommodate his needs. The following is a list of some of the more common behaviors and characteristics of rabbits.

Rabbit Nutrition

A rabbit's digestive tract is very different from that of a dog or cat. A rabbit has an active cecum that allows it to digest hay. Many nutrients are made available by digestion that occurs in the cecum, which is located at the origin of the large intestine. In order to allow absorption by the small intestine, the rabbit "recycles" these nutrients by eating their own pellets. Rabbits even make a different type of pellet, called a "cecotrope," that has more nutrients.

You may be surprised at how easy it is to train your rabbit to use her litter box. By nature, rabbits tend to go in the same spot. You may have noticed your rabbit backing up into a corner and lifting her tail. Many times, it's as simple as identifying where she likes to go and putting a litter box in that spot.
