Welcome to 'Everything About Bunnies'! In this video, we'll explore the fascinating world of these adorable creatures, from their basic biology to their unique behaviors and needs.

Rabbits aren't rodents; they're lagomorphs, a family that also includes hares and pikas. They're surprisingly long-lived, with some house rabbits reaching 8 to 12 years old, even up to 16 in rare cases!

Those constantly growing teeth? They're essential for their diet, gradually wearing down as they munch on grasses, wildflowers, and veggies. Carrots, while popular, shouldn't be a staple.

Bunnies are social animals, thriving in pairs or groups. They're playful and communicative, using body language and vocalizations to interact. A content bunny might even purr!

But be aware, aggression can occur due to fear, frustration, or territoriality. Watch out for thumping, nipping, or biting – these are signs you need to understand their needs better.

Let's delve into where bunnies live and what they eat.

Cottontails, for example, prefer areas with lots of vegetation for grazing and shelter. They'll find protection in brush piles or abandoned burrows.

Their diet is primarily grasses, wildflowers, and various vegetables. Remember, moderation is key with treats!

Now, let's explore their behavior and how to best care for them.

Bunnies are meticulous groomers, keeping themselves clean throughout the day. They need space to exercise and engage in natural behaviors like digging to stay happy and healthy.

And don't be alarmed by coprophagy – eating their own droppings is a normal part of their digestion!

Understanding bunny behavior, habitat, and needs is crucial for ensuring a happy and healthy life for your pet rabbit.
