Insects

Many grasshopper species are general herbivores, meaning they eat a variety of plants, including grass, flowers and vegetables like sweet corn and lettuce. Grasshoppers feed mainly on leaves, but sometimes they also eat stems and seeds.

Many crickets are omnivores: they eat fruit, nectar, seeds, small insects, some leaves, and will even nibble on dead larger animals.

OWLS ON THE HUNT. Many owl species are carnivores, or meat eaters. Small, rodent-like mammals, such as voles and mice, are the primary prey for many owl species. An owl’s diet may also include frogs, lizards, snakes, fish, mice, rabbits, birds, squirrels, and other creatures.

Rabbits are herbivores. This means that they have a plant-based diet and do not eat meat. Their diets include grasses, clover and some cruciferous plants, such as broccoli and Brussels sprouts. They are opportunistic feeders and also eat fruits, seeds, roots, buds, and tree bark, according to ADW.

So in short, no, rabbits absolutely are not carnivores. The reason why is because such a diet would quickly kill them.

Rabbits can sometimes eat their own young. This is most likely to happen if your pet is feeling particularly anxious, lacks dietary protein, or has become excessively territorial. Feed your rabbit a diet of Alfalfa hay in the days before the birth of her kits.

Rabbits do not menstruate. If unspayed females start passing blood, they can bleed to death within a few days. Blood in the urine can also be a sign of bladder stones.

Female rabbits hump each other as a means of asserting social dominance. The Italian Journal of Zoology recorded such behavior between two female rabbits in a colony that already had a hierarchy in place. This is a common behavior post-reaching sexual maturity. It is a means of asserting dominance without fighting.

Gender Combinations. A pair of male rabbits may work together well, but the People’s Dispensary for Sick Animals organization notes that male and female pairings may be more successful as long as both of the animals are neutered and spayed. Male and female rabbits tend to bond to each other with more ease.

Can Two Male Rabbits Live Together? Two male rabbits can get along together, but this is usually the least successful pairing. For a male-male pairing to work, one rabbit needs to be much more submissive than the other. They also must be neutered.

MOUNTING: this is not a male-only behavior – females mount males as well. One or both rabbits may attempt this maneuver. As long as nobody seems irritated (nipping, biting, screaming) let this go on.

He loves you and wants to call you something special. He doesn’t want to use words like honey, seeetie, etc. that everybody else is using. Bunny is a form of endearment, in other words, a sweet nickname he chose to call you.

Can rabbits kill each other? Yes, rabbits can kill each other. This often happens when two unneutered rabbits are enclosed together. While it can also happen with two female rabbits, it’s less common than male rabbits.

Yes, rabbits can and will kill other rabbits. Sometimes accidentally, through competition for resources. Sometimes deliberately. It is not unheard of for a buck to kill baby rabbits to encourage the doe to go back into season.
