Rabbit Fun Facts

Rabbit fun facts from around the web and my own reading experience:

Rabbits can see behind them, but have blind spot in front of their face.

Rabbits can't vomit.

Rabbits are lagomorphs, not rodents. Rabbits are actually more closely related to horses than they are to mice. Rabbits and horses share similarities in their diet and in their method of digesting food.

A pet rabbit can live as long as 10 years.

Rabbits can literally be scared to death by a predator.

Rabbits have a scent gland under their chin and they "chin" things and even people to mark them with their scent.

Softwood shavings (pine & cedar) should not be used for bedding.


That's all for today, but check back for more fun facts and funny stories, you'll find them! If you need one right now, check out the always helpful http://www.rabbit.org/
