Rabbits are smarter than we think . They are capable of getting angry if they consider that their owner has not behaved well or has had a bad gesture with him, they demand signs of affection, they know how to attract attention to get what they want … It may very little that you have a bunny at home and seems inscrutable to you, we assure you that it will be for a short time. We offer you a list of typical behaviors that will help you understand him almost every moment. You will see!
Some notes on the behavior of the rabbit
We are going to start with the gestures that, in our opinion, are the most important: if something bad happens to the animal, if it is afraid or if it accepts your caresses or not.
When a rabbit is in pain, it will emit a very powerful and stressful squeak. If this situation occurs, do not delay in reacting, explore him to make sure if he has signs of external injuries and take him as soon as possible to the vet, as he will know how to treat him perfectly. Signs that the pet is unwell include sitting more still than usual , not interacting, and not eating or drinking as much as usual. Anyone can have a bad day, even a rabbit, but if the situation continues, you should, once again, take it to the clinic to be examined.
If you see that your rabbit begins to breathe hastily, tense the muscles of its face, its eyes go wide and it presses its ears against its back, it is afraid .
It is very important to know when you can touch a rabbit and when it is not recommended. If the animal comes up to you and lowers its ears, go ahead. If he turns his back on you or directly moves away from you, better leave it for another time.
Ah! Do not be scared if you see him jumping and turning on his legs like crazy, he is not suffering any attack, not at all, what he is is super happy. And there is nothing more beautiful than the pet is happy with its human, right?
