2. Living habits of rabbits
Rabbits generally live in open environments such as grasslands, forests and wasteland.
They like eating grass, young leaves, fruits and so on. They are omnivores. Because the diet of rabbits is too single, it is easy to cause unbalanced nutrition, so a good feed needs to include cereals, beans, vegetables and so on.
Rabbits are gregarious animals and live in groups actively. They lick each other's fur, get to know each other with tentacles and establish social relations. At the same time, rabbits are naturally timid. They will disguise themselves as plants, curl up and turn up their fur to avoid danger.
3. Feeding rabbits
The reproductive ability of rabbits is amazing. They quietly gave birth to a nest of rabbits and then came out to look for food, so the breeding density was high.
After estrus, the mother rabbit will dance and shake her hips to show her courtship. After mating with the male rabbit, she will be pregnant for 28~3 1 day and give birth to 3~ 12 young rabbits. When she was born, she was hairless, with her eyes closed and her ears lying on her back. It takes about 30 days for young rabbits to leave the nest and give milk. At this time, they can eat grass and tender leaves. Young rabbits begin to estrus and reproduce in about 4-6 months.
4. The cultural significance of rabbits.
Rabbits have been paid attention to by human beings in China since the Han Dynasty, and literati often write poems and calligraphy on rabbits. In ancient times, rabbits were one of the representatives of flying animals. The Classic of Mountains and Seas holds that "a rabbit can fly" is also a long-standing traditional cultural symbol of the Chinese nation.
In addition, in modern times, rabbit images often appear in cartoons and cartoons, such as Peter Rabbit of Disney and Lily Rabbit of Sail. They are all loved by children and become their good friends.
