Learn fun facts about these fluffy animals
Follow the White Rabbit
On average, a rabbit warren may cover an area of up to 150 square meters (about 1,600 square feet)
Rabbits can hop at speeds of 45 miles per hour when escaping predators.
A rabbit’s teeth never stop growing—they can grow up to 5 inches per year!
Rabbits are excellent diggers and often create complex burrow systems called warrens.
They can see nearly 360 degrees around them, with only a small blind spot in front of their nose.
Rabbits are crepuscular, meaning they are most active at dawn and dusk.
Their ears can rotate almost 180 degrees, allowing them to detect sounds from different directions.
Rabbits can purr, similar to cats, when they are content.
They communicate with each other using a variety of sounds, including thumps, grunts, and soft clucking noises.
Rabbits have a unique digestive system. They re-eat their soft droppings (called cecotropes) to absorb nutrients.
Meet Pinker, the Rabbit
Pinker never liked hard work. He spent most of his days playing and eating flowers. During a drought, Pinker discovers a garden full of vegetables but decides not to tell the other rabbits about it. Will the other rabbits help him in his time of need? This book teaches children about the importance of sharing and caring about others. This book is a part of the Fables from the Forest series. The series teaches children to love and respect nature while illustrating important life lessons.
Rabbits are social animals, which means they love to live and interact with other rabbits. Like people, they enjoy spending time with friends and family. Rabbits feel happy and safe when they're part of a group. In the wild, rabbits live in big groups called colonies. They work together to dig tunnels and find food. They communicate by grooming each other, using body language like thumping their feet, and even making soft noises to stay connected.
Down the Rabbit Hole
Rabbits live together in cozy homes called warrens with underground tunnels. They dig these tunnels in soft soil using their strong paws. Inside the warren, there are different rooms or burrows where the rabbits sleep, hide, and take care of their babies. The tunnels connect all the rooms, and they have special exits in case of danger. Warrens keep rabbits safe from bad weather and predators, like foxes.
Rabbits are very social animals, and they communicate in interesting ways! They use their noses, ears, and tails to talk to each other. When a rabbit thumps its back foot on the ground, it’s warning others that danger is nearby. Rabbits also use body language to show who is in charge. In every warren, there’s a hierarchy. Some rabbits are dominant, while others are submissive. The dominant rabbits usually get the best spots to sleep and eat first!
