All it takes are commitment to the rabbit s well-being and accurate information about his or her needs. Some Issues to Consider Rabbits are intelligent and have a highly developed social order. If their personalities are not stunted by boredom or abuse, they commonly display affection, anger, jealousy, delight, annoyance, fear, submissiveness, grief, dominance, guile, contentment, mischievousness, curiosity, sadness, and joy. Even when neutered and spayed, pairs will affectionately snuggle and groom each other, and engage in sexual activity. They commonly enjoy playing with toys, especially those that can be chewed, tossed, pushed, or hidden under.
Rabbits communicate in many ways.
Many learn to respond to their names. Others, like cats, know their names but choose not to respond. Breeding a classroom rabbit so that children can experience the birth and development of the young is a common practice. However, rabbit births are rarely witnessed because they occur quickly, and usually at night. More importantly, classroom breeding too often results in bunnies who suffer and die from improper care.
