Our woodland friends know that when the predators are after you, the secret of survival is having a safe haven to return to. Those small mammals who are good in this life pass on to The Great Burrow when they die, and live there in Paradise forever.
Understanding is more imporant than experience.
The experience just helps some to understand. Ignorance is Bliss. Naps are good too. Nothing beats a divine love offering. The Rabbit-Messiah will be served by the other small animals.
