Did you know?

• Rabbits’ incisors grow throughout their lives.
• Rabbits quickly memorize the layout of their living area. After just a few days of exploring an apartment, they will know the arrangement of the furniture, where to find tasty treats, and how to get back to their home.
• Because the rabbit’s eyes are positioned on the sides of its head, it has nearly 360-degree vision. This allows it to see predators from afar, even if they are sneaking up from behind. However, a rabbit cannot see what is directly in front of its nose.
• These long-eared pets have a well-developed memory and are very intelligent and quick-witted.
