Domestic Rabbit

Domestic Rabbit

Domestic Rabbits provide humans with meat and fur, and their docile nature makes them a popular pet choice and an experimental animal.

What they eat affect their functions. For example, show rabbits are fed in the way that would help them stay lively and healthy and at the same time help them develop strong musculoskeletal systems.

Rabbits have babies easily. To stop rabbits from having too many babies, human beings may fix rabbits when they are at sexual maturity.

Rabbits have been kept as pets in Western nations since the 19th century. Now in the 21st century, rabbits are one of the most popular pets around the world. But it is important to note that rabbits are not good choices for young kids. Rabbits are fragile and easily injured by rough handling; they can bite when hurt or frightened.
