10 things I didn't know about my rabbits!

10 things I didn't know about my rabbits till I had them...

1) They eat their own poo. Yea... it's cos of the way their stomach had been made. They can't absorb the nutrients from their food quickly so they end up eating their own poo known as cecal pellets.

2) They don't just eat carrots. They eat hay, pellets and vegetables.

3) They can be litter trained! Wow! Amazing huh? That means they can be allowed to run around the whole house without having to cage them up!

4) They are like us humans, all with different characters. Some are milder than others, some are fiercer than others, some are fatter than others while some are more playful than others. One word to describe my rabbits... Gracie-spoilt, Oliver-gentle, Baby-whine-r, Creme-sweet

5) They sleep for short periods during the day and night.

6) They can understand simple words if you are patient enough and have enough treats to treat them. Serious! Gracie understands the word, "Treat, treat!" She will run frantically around the room because she knows that she's going to be given her favourite slice of apple soon.

7) They do a happy hop in the air known as a 'binky' where they twist their body while doing a hop!

8) They can get angry with you and they show it by growling! Woah! Beware!

9) They can be truanced when you need to groom them.

10) When they know and trust you, they will come to you when you sit on the floor and do a flop beside you and lie really close to you. :)

Cheers!
