FYI

Fascinating:

1) Rabbits can sleep with their eyes open.
2) Although commonly thought to be rodents, rabbits belong to the lagomorph family.
3) Rabbits are crepuscular, meaning they're most active at dawn and dusk.
4) Rabbits snore.
5) There are so many rabbits put to death daily in shelters they don't even keep count!
6) Rabbits can get pregnant an hour after giving birth. SPAY AND NEUTER!
7) Rabbits are litterbox trainable.
8) Rabbits can live peacefully with non-aggressive cats, dogs, and other (non-predatory) creatures.
9) Rabbits love to play with toys.
10) Each rabbit has it's own distinct personality, complete with humor, idiosyncrasies, even pet peeves.
11) Rabbits can't vomit.
12) Rabbits are too much responsibility for a child.
13) Dental cavities in rabbits are a relatively new health problem, another reason to avoid junk foods.
14) Rabbits produce two kinds of waste. The regular fecal pellets, and cecal pellets consisting of nutrients not absorbed by the small intestine. They eat these. What a way to take your vitamins!
15) If lost, rabbits cannot find their way home.
16) Because of the placement of their eyes, rabbits cannot see straight ahead of them, making them easily startled.
17) Rabbits can die of a heart attack if frightened.
18) Rabbits are too domesticated to survive in the wild.
19) Rabbits are used to test many cosmetics and household products. Don't support the torture, buy products labeled "cruelty free" or "not tested on animals".
20) Rabbits rule!
