Fluffy the Rabbit & Other Bunny Tales Quiz

Answer: A hutch

Rabbits have long lived in the wild, but many are domesticated and kept by people as pets.

Wild rabbits live in tunnels in the ground they call burrows.

If you ever get a rabbit, the best place to keep it is in a secure hutch with a wired-off run in the garden so it can get plenty of exercise.

Answer: Chocolate

Some people think that hay or grass is all that a rabbit needs. They will eat them, but they like other things too - like fresh vegetables and fruit. You can also buy ready-made food that is just for them.

But many things that people like are bad for rabbits. These include chocolate, cereal, beans, cauliflower and cabbage.

Answer: Yes

Yes, they do like to be cuddled and stroked and will happily sit in your lap, but please don't lift them too high off the ground as that makes them nervous.

You can also use a gentle brush to groom your rabbit's fur once a week. They can keep themselves clean so there is usually no need to give them a bath.

Answer: No

Rabbits do make sounds but not very often and not very loudly. They do make a clucking sound and they can purr just like a cat.

If you pull their ears or tail too hard they may growl at you.

Answer: Easter

People have been celebrating the Easter Bunny for hundreds of years.

It became very popular in America after people from Europe moved there. They brought with them the story of a rabbit that laid eggs for children who had been good.

This was celebrated each year when winter was giving way to spring and a new season of growth on farms was beginning. It also became associated with the message of Easter and the story of Jesus that Christian people remember.

Many years ago, children would have been given presents of real eggs, nowadays it is usually chocolate eggs that are used. Many people also give presents of chocolate and candy shaped like a bunny rabbit.

Answer: Sunbathe

Rabbits do not like to get too hot. When the sun shines and it is very hot they will look for some shade. Wild rabbits dig holes to get out of the sun.

Rabbits love to dig holes, that is why you must make sure that they cannot tunnel out of your garden or their run.

Fluffy loves to play, and likes dancing too. Her favourite dance is the "Bunny Hop".

All rabbits know how to swim, but some do not like it at all and prefer to stay on dry land. It is probably best to let your rabbit decide for itself - you should never try to make a rabbit swim.

Answer: Her teeth

Rabbits' teeth keep on growing throughout their lives. That is why you should always give them something rough to chew on. Hay is good, and so is a piece of wood.

If a rabbit's teeth get too long they will not be able to eat properly.

Answer: Buck

The name for a baby rabbit is kit.

Fluffy has never had any baby rabbits, but a family of baby rabbits is called a litter. A doe can have up to 12 kits in each litter.

A doe is very protective of her new kits. She will groom them and feed them milk once or twice a day.

Baby rabbits keep their eyes closed for almost two weeks and when they are about two weeks old they can start eating on their own.
