THE ANSWERS:

Is a rabbit a rodent?

No, a rabbit is a lagomorph. Rabbits (both European and cottontails), Hares and Pikas are all lagomorphs. I get very annoyed with my vet when he puts "Rodent" on my rabbits' prescriptions.

How many teeth do rabbits have?

28

What are peg teeth?

Teeth behind the incisors. These teeth distinguish rodents from lagomorphs.

How many nails do rabbits have?

18. The back feet have 4 each while the front feet have 5 each. If you didn't know the answer to this one, you need to go clip two more nails on each of your rabbits!

Which mature earlier, bucks or does?

Does

On the Chinese zodiac, the rabbit is one of the twelve animals associated with a particular year. When is the next year of the rabbit?

I am, if nothing else, a busy woman. But I've filled my life with people, activities, and things I love, so I wouldn't change a thing! My list of favorite things include my husband Andrew, our four children, my Holland lop show rabbits, our long coat Chihuahuas, ballroom dancing, and my cobalt glassware, gifts, and accessories business.
