The Nature
of the Beast
Chapter One |
A male rabbit (buck) frequently thumps after it has mated with
a female (doe), most likely to signal dominance to other bucks.
Both bucks and does thump warnings to nearby rabbits if they sense
danger is afoot or on the wing.
and other species of wild rabbits found in North America do not bur-
row at all. Instead, they scrape indentations in the ground in areas
with tall grass; these shelters are called forms.

nancy. If you didn’t breed her, it might be a tip-off that she had acci-
dental contact with a buck within the last couple weeks.
Digging in cage corners can also be a sign of a false pregnancy (see
Fooled You! False Pregnancies, page 155).
Chapter One |
Q What’s the difference between a rabbit and a hare?
A The difference is not always in the name: there is a domes-
tic breed called the Belgian Hare and a species of hare known
as the jackrabbit! While all rabbits and hares belong to the fam-
situated on opposite sides of the head for a wide field of vision. (This
is as opposed to having eyes in front of the face, like a human’s, which
is your clue that you are a predator and the rabbit is not.) Caution is

they feel threatened by a loud noise or sudden movement.
officials are racking their brains to find a way to kill off hun-
dreds of millions of feral rabbits, the offspring of domestic rabbits
that were released into the wild 150 years ago. Settlers introduced
rabbits as a hardy, renewable food source, but the rabbits did not
encounter enough natural predators to keep the population growth in
check. Rabbit populations in both countries are raging out of control
despite years of trapping, poisoning, diseases, and bounties.
The ecosystems in these two nations have been seriously affected
by heavy overgrazing by these rabbits, leading to soil erosion and
extensive loss of forage and water for sheep and cattle that cost the
agriculture industry hundreds of millions of dollars per year. Around
the world, feral rabbits are blamed for singlehandedly causing exten-
sive species loss of both plants and animals throughout the reaches
of their colonization.
In North America, hare and cottontail populations generally
seem to be in balance with predator populations, although the tiny
Columbia Basin Pygmy rabbit, found in Oregon, Washington, and
Idaho, is endangered, as is the volcano rabbit of Mexico.

remains undigested, an indication of just how important fiber is to
rabbit health. As a point of comparison, cows, with their four stom-
achs, digest 44 percent of the cellulose they ingest, while rabbits
digest a mere 14 percent.
Rather than solely providing nutrition, fiber contributes to the nor-
mal action and function of the intestines. Undigested fiber provides
correct lengths. The chewing motion grinds the teeth against one
another, creating normal wear patterns that keep the teeth working
effectively. Rabbits nibble on grass, bushes, twigs, and branches in
summer, and on tree bark in winter. Bring them inside, and they will
chew on baseboards, furniture legs, potted plants, and carpets. They
may electrocute themselves when they start in on those delectable-
looking electrical cords. Extensive rabbit-proofing must take place
before rabbits can live indoors!
Rabbits in hutches may destroy their surroundings in their need to
chew, so it’s important to provide branches or nontoxic scrap wood
as an alternative.

Rabbits are born with 16 baby teeth, which fall out within days
of birth. These are replaced by 28 permanent teeth, some of
them almost immediately and the remainder by around 4 weeks of

age. The permanent teeth include the front incisors, the peg teeth
(two small peg-shaped teeth located directly
behind the front incisors that keep the lower
incisor tips sharpened into wedges), and the
cheek teeth in the back of the jaw.
