It is not easy being a house rabbit: - to be taken back to a stranger’s place, given living quarters which people think are appropriate, being fed food which may not be familiar and worse still, to be watched whilst having a meal, to be grabbed and caressed without permission, to have your space constantly invaded and so on. You get the picture. It can be a very stressful time getting used to a new place and just as stressful when people do not understand the signs and sounds the house rabbit sends out as messages for help.
