Food: Rabbits are herbivores. They need good quality hay or grass to help them stay healthy. They also enjoy leafy greens and pellets. And as a treat they eat root vegetables like carrots or fruit.

Size: There are many different types of rabbit and different sizes. They can be as small as 25cm to over a metre long. And can weigh over 20kg.

More fascinating facts: They live in large groups in underground burrow systems known as ‘warrens’. Female rabbits, called ‘does’ produce one litter of between three and seven babies every month during the breeding season – that’s a lot of little ones!

Rabbits make excellent pets. They are simple to look after with the right home. They do not like to be alone however, so should be kept with one or more other rabbits. They like to keep active and need a home with plenty of space and interesting objects to keep them stimulated. Rabbits also like to hide and will need a covered area to feel safe
