As pets, rabbits are small, relatively easy to care for, fastidious, and quiet. What's more, they can be litter box trained. If not periodically checked, they may overgrow and cause difficulty eating. Rabbit's ears are highly vascular and help regulate heat, as well as sensing sound. They are fragile and sensitive and should not be used for restraint.
Rabbits produce two types of fecal pellets, mucus pellets and dry pellets.
The night feces is usually produced four to eight hours after feeding and is immediately ingested directly from the anus. Upon redigestion, it serves as a source for B-vitamins, amino acids, and fatty acids. This behavior is rarely seen by the clients. The dry pellets are generally produced during the first four hours after feeding and are not normally ingested. This usually provides seven to eleven litters per doe before the number of young per litter declines.
