II. Reading
Like most animals, rabbits come equipped with various predator detection and eva-
sion enhancements. Their eyes are located on the sides of their heads so that they can
see almost 360 degrees around them. The sacrifice for this arrangement is a blind spot
directly in front of the rabbit's face. Keep this in mind when you approach your rabbit
Line 5 or put your hand directly in front of his/her face. Rabbits will rely more on their senses
of smell and hearing to identify you when they can't see you. Another predator detection
tool is their acute sense of hearing. Rabbits can hear up to a mile away. If something is
amiss, they will stomp their hind feet to warn the warren, i.e. your household, that dan-
ger is about. You might recall Thumper in the movie, Bambi. Stomping can also have
Line 10 other translations. You'll have to rely on context and personal knowledge of your rabbit
to interpret his/her meaning.
A rabbit's sense of smell far exceeds human capabilities and is used to monitor the
environment for any whiff of predators. When a rabbit smells or hears something alarm-
ing, she/he will sit very still with ears arranged to catch sound from all directions and
Line 15 nose no longer twitching.
She/he is deciding whether or not an escape effort should be executed. All this con-
stant scanning of the environment for danger and living on heightened alert makes rab-
bits easily over-stressed. To minimize stress, it is important to approach your rabbit in a
calm, confident manner. Anxiety is particularly contagious to prey animals and if you
Line 20 communicate that you are anxious, your rabbit will respond accordingly.

To ease your rabbit's stress, speak to your rabbit as you approach so that she can iden-
tify you by the sound of your voice. Speak soothingly and in low tones. Place your hands
where your rabbit can see what you are doing. Be careful about picking your rabbit up, mak-
ing sure to support his/her hindquarters. Being picked up is frightening to most rabbits and
many resist. In the wild if they are being picked up, most likely they are about to be eaten.
