Rabbits produce two types of droppings: pellets of dry waste and mucus-covered cecotropes that are packed with nutrients. And they eat the cecotropes for the nutrients. This is usually done at night and taken directly from the anus. This habit is called coprophagy.
Just beneath the nose of a rabbit is a small area he can’t see; a blind spot. Rabbits are prey animals. Like many other prey animals, their eyes are set farther apart or even on opposite sides of the head. This gives a wider field of view.
Rabbits can see almost 360 degrees around them, and while some area is seen by both eyes, most is only seen by one at a time. The trade-off for seeing more is loss of depth perception and the small blind spot in front of their nose.
These animals have enamel on the lip side of their top incisors. Their bottom incisors have enamel on both the lip and tongue sides. And a rabbit’s upper incisors grow a little more slowly than the lower incisors.
Rabbits frequently lick their fur to groom themselves, just like cats. Unlike cats, rabbits don’t cough up hairballs. That’s because rabbits can’t vomit. Neither can rodents or horses. Rabbits can suffer slowed gut motility from a buildup of fur, though, which is why it’s important to brush your rabbit daily to minimize the fur he ingests.
