About the problem of rabbit sleeping, some partners still don’t understand what’s going on. Some rabbits sleep with their eyes closed, while some rabbits seem to never sleep with their eyes closed after observation. The problem here is related to the habits of rabbits. Pet house Xiaobian will share with you.
When raising rabbits for a period of time, it will be observed that rabbits sometimes rely on the corner, lie prone or sit down to rest, which is also the rabbit sleeping. After it fully trusts its master and completely puts down its vigilance to the environment, the rabbit will take advantage of the situation to retreat and straighten or make the posture of laying eggs by the hen to rest, and occasionally close its eyes and sleep for a while.
In nature, rabbits are weak. They don’t have great ability to hunt other animals. Most of them are hunted. It’s not easy for rabbits to survive. Their behaviors are for self-protection. It is also because of this frightening environment that rabbits can’t sleep peacefully. When they are really sleepy, they take a nap for a while, and they can’t go to deep sleep. If the wind blows the grass a little, they have to keep up their spirits and run away anytime and anywhere.
As long as the rabbit has complete trust in the environment and its owner, it will also close its eyes and sleep for a while. They will find a comfortable posture to rest for a while. Long ago, the habit was formed. The sleep time of rabbits will not be very long. Their sleep is light sleep and intermittent, sometimes a few seconds and a few minutes.
When the rabbit turns over and lies down to sleep, it is recommended not to make a noise to affect its sleep. When it goes to sleep, the rabbit’s limbs will slowly relax, its eyes will slowly close, and its mouth will slightly open. If the breeder observes carefully, he can also see the slight trembling of the rabbit’s eyes and beard, and even the trembling of the rabbit’s tail and limbs. These states of the rabbit indicate that it has entered the dream. It is already dreaming. You can’t disturb the rabbit.
The sleep state of a rabbit shows its adaptability to the environment. Breeders can adopt some effective methods to make it adapt to the environment and get familiar with its owner.
