Welcome to Furs-day Friday where we'll discuss any furry fur-balled fur-ster pet animal there is!
When you think of cute little furry pets, how many of you think RABBITS?
With over 35,000 rabbits left abandoned in a year and about 70% of house rabbits are kept locked up within its cage (as adapted from BBC UK) we decided to give a mini shout-out to our little jumping friend.
- Who said Doe was a deer? IN FACT - a doe is called a female rabbit! No wonder they say Rabbits are only the third popular animal, even Mary Poppins ignored a rabbit and went straight to a deer instead.

2.Rabbits seldom get stuck in tunnels because of their wide whiskers that is the actual length of their bodies! The whiskers would feel its circumference and surroundings.

3. Rabbits are Martians! Okay, more of moon-tions. Japanese culture actually believe that there are rabbits on the moon!

4.Heard a purr? Thought it was a cat? Might be a rabbit instead! Similar to cats, rabbits purr when displaying what they are feeling. The softer and calmer the purr, the more happy your rabbit is! Good job buddy!
5.Rabbits are curious animals! Try lying down one day in front of your rabbit and act dead. They’ll might just start climbing onto you. Of course, don't startle them by giving it a jump scare (they’ll probably hate you for life) but try giving mini strokes along the head to show your affection (and that you are not really dead). This might help especially if your rabbit doesn’t acknowledge you often.

6. A rabbit can drink up till 5 times more than a pound dog. Thats right, don’t be surprised when you decide to take on a pet rabbit for a change. They'll drink just as much as your pet dog!

7. Never jump scare a rabbit! The term ‘scared to death’ is pretty applicable for our furry friend over here. They can actually be die when their predators jump scare them.
8.The metre long rabbit. That’s right you read it correctly, the world’s largest rabbit is actually over 129.54 cm long at a whopping 22kg weight. The largest rabbit breeds are the Flemish giant, Checkered giant, Giant Chinchilla and the French Lop. However, on average, the size of a bunny rabbit is similar to a cat - don’t worry about your cat growing the length of your arms.

9.They don’t have night vision goggles, they hunt under low light - early morning and evenings. This is because they’d want to be hidden from their predators.
10. Last but not least, everyone who is a fan of rabbits and or their fluffy little butt needs to go to Japan’s Rabbit Island. Situated by the inland sea of Japan, Okunoshima is known as a haven for 100s of friendly bunnies. Watch the video below to find out more!
