Behavioral manifestations and significance of rabbits
1. When rabbits reach adulthood, the rabbits may show the behavior of circling around. Circling is a courtship behavior, sometimes accompanied by grunting. Often, the onset of circling is a sign that the rabbit is ready to be neutered. Circling can also be a sign of wanting attention or asking for food.
2. When rabbits are very happy, they will jump in place, turn slightly in mid-air, and sometimes bob their heads while jumping. When they jump, it is like dancing. Especially mini rabbits, they love to jump to express their happy and very enjoyable feeling.
3. Some rabbits don't like people to touch their things. When the owner cleans the cage and changes the food dish, the rabbit may pounce on it. This is a sign that he doesn't like it, and pouncing is a sign of aggression.
4. When rabbits stand up on all fours on their toes, it is a warning. They will remain in this position until the danger has passed, which can be anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes. Rabbits may also stand up on their toes when they are angry, which also means warning.
5. When rabbits are scared, they stomp their hind legs. In the wild, when an enemy is approaching, rabbits will stomp their hind legs to notify their companions of danger.
6. When rabbits sleep on their sides and stretch their legs out, it means they feel safe. If the owner doesn't disturb it, the rabbit may fall asleep quickly.
7. When a rabbit tries to keep its body as low as possible, it means that it is nervous and feels that there is danger approaching. In the wild, when rabbits feel that there is danger approaching, they will try to lower their body to avoid being seen. And pet rabbits also exhibit this behavior.
