How can you tell if a bunny is feeling mad happy or scared?

A Bunny's Feelings

My family and I used to raise rabbits (as pets not food). I noticed that when our rabbits where having a bad temper they would sit and thump their back legs real loud hitting the ground. They are lazy carefree animals, give them grass and fresh veggies and love and they are happy. Also they would tend to get mad if there was more than one male in the same area or cage. A male and female are good together but two or more males tend to fight. Each rabbit is different and they all have their own personality.

More opinions:

  • Happy - It will let you pet it without showing fear, and it will do occasional skipping hops high into the air this is always amusing to watch.
  • Scared - It will seek shelter, thump its legs as a warning to other rabbits. Very rarely it will scream. Hope that you never hear this noise - it is awful. They also might poop or pee out of nervousness. Also their eyes might literally 'bug out'.
  • Mad - Thumping of legs, growling. If you see these signs leave the rabbit alone - they may be cute but they can bite hard.
