Rabbits are a prey animal. By nature, their most active times during a day is dawn and dusk, in order to stay away from daytime or nocturnal predators. They spend most of the rest of their time resting but must always stay alert due to their prey animal instincts, so they rarely go into deep sleep. They are also herbivores, which means that they must eat constantly to keep their digestive system in constant motion, if it stops moving then it could be fatal. So they probably wake up once in a while to eat.
For litter box I put a few sheets of newspaper at the very bottom, and put 'yesterday's news' pellets on top.. then top the box with some timothy hay. |
