Rabbits

Rabbits are small, furry animals often kept as pets. They have long ears, fluffy tails, and come in many colours. People love rabbits because they are cute and can be very friendly. Rabbits live in the wild too, usually in burrows they dig in the ground. They are most active during the early morning and late afternoon.

Rabbits are herbivores, which means they eat plants. They like vegetables such as carrots, lettuce, and hay. Hay is very important for their diet because it helps with digestion. It is important to remember that rabbits, like other pets, need proper care. They should have a clean cage, fresh water, and regular visits to a vet.

Rabbits can also be very playful. They enjoy running and jumping. Sometimes, they even hop around when they are happy. This is called a "binky". If you have a rabbit, try to give it toys to chew on, as their teeth never stop growing.

Having rabbits as pets can be a lot of fun, but they also need attention and love. They might be quiet, but they have a lot of energy and personality. Remember to treat them well, and they will be lovely companions.
