Basic

One. Cooing

Usually to the owner behavior or dissatisfaction with another rabbit. Cooing means the rabbit is dissatisfied and angry. For example, if the rabbit doesn't like people to hold it and touch it, he will coo.

2. Jet sound

Jet sound means that the rabbit feels that something or some action makes him feel threatened. If the rabbit feels threatened by your actions, it may be bitten if you don't stop.

3. Screams

Like humans, rabbit screams usually represent fear or pain. If you hear a rabbit scream suddenly, the owner should pay more attention immediately, because the rabbit may be injured.

4. Teeth grinding

1. Loud teeth grinding

It means the rabbit is in pain, it is best to take the rabbit to see a veterinarian .

2. Grinding teeth gently

It means that the rabbit is very satisfied and happy. When the rabbit is grinding its teeth softly, if you reach out and touch the rabbit's chin, you can feel the molars rubbing. At this time, the rabbit's eyes are usually half-open and closed.

5. Teeth clenching

Rabbits grit their teeth, which means pain. At this time, the rabbit will generally bend up and sit, with the ears back and close to the body.

Six, purr

Like cats, rabbits purr when they are satisfied. However, the difference between rabbits and cats is that cats use their throats to make sounds, but rabbits use their teeth to make sounds.

7. Hissing

A rabbit usually hisses at another rabbit. The hissing sound is a warning to fight back, mainly to tell the other rabbit to stay away, otherwise he will attack.

8. The sound of estrus

The sound of estrus is different from cooing. The call in heat is a low, low, regular call. Usually male rabbits make this call when chasing female rabbits. Sterilization can reduce this type of estrus behavior, but it cannot completely eliminate it. The neutered male rabbit will still chase the female rabbit and capture the female rabbit.

9. Circling in circles

When the rabbit is an adult, the rabbit may behave in a circle. Circling in circles is a courtship behavior, sometimes accompanied by a grunting sound. Usually the beginning of courtship behavior in circles means that it is time for the rabbit to be neutered. Going in circles can also mean wanting attention or asking for food.

10. Jumping

When the rabbit is very happy, it will jump in place and be slightly reflexive in the air, and sometimes the rabbit will sideways. Jump and shake your head. When they jumped, it was as if they were dancing. Especially dwarfs/mini rabbits, they prefer to use jumping to express their joy and enjoyment.
