Questions and answers

Questions and Answers

Is a Belgian Hare a true hare or a rabbit?
It is a domestic rabbit breed, not a wild hare. Breeders in Belgium developed it by selecting domestic rabbits for a lean, wild hare appearance.
Why are a rabbit's ears so large?
Large ears help rabbits detect faint sounds from far away and help regulate their body temperature. Blood flowing through the ears releases excess heat on warm days.
What type of grass do domestic rabbits eat?
Domestic rabbits eat fresh grass and dried grass hay like timothy grass. High-fiber grass is essential for keeping their digestive systems healthy and wearing down their continuously growing teeth.
