Rabbits are cute, fuzzy little animals that everyone loves. They are common as pets in houses and on farms. They are also a feature of many fairy tales and moral stories. Students are often asked to write an essay on rabbits. They have several ideas to share on the topic but struggle with organising them in an appropriate manner. This article will help them understand how to organise the ideas for an essay on rabbits.
A rabbit’s fur has a range of natural colours, but when the animal is born it is usually one colour and it will develop its adult coat over time. Female rabbits are called ‘does’ and male rabbits are called ‘bucks’.
Baby bunnies have very large ears which they use for thermoregulation. They are able to change the amount of blood flowing through them to control their body temperature and to communicate with other rabbits. This is a good way for rabbits to avoid being harmed by another rabbit or predator.
Thermoregulation also enables the rabbit to keep its food warm when it is in a cold environment. When a rabbit feels stressed it can display behaviours which are similar to those used by humans. These include clenching the facial muscles and changing their posture.
When a rabbit is being transported from place to place it should be in a well ventilated pet carrier. It should be a comfortable size and familiar to the rabbit in order to reduce stress and prevent it from getting too hot. The rabbit should be able to rest in the carrier or enclosure for a period of at least four hours a day. The enclosure should have a sheltered rest area and an exercise area.
