@horny18able Yeah. Sad. A shoutout to everyone who has pet rabbits - don't feed them carrots too often! Thought I should mention that. Carrots make rabbit's teeth yellow and messes them up! Every now and then is okay (like how often you'd give dog treats). The concept that rabbits like carrots is a result of the association with Bugs Bunny! In reality, rabbits prefer a range of veggies c: Do your research before you feed your pets!
@rhinovirgin There are many species of rabbit - while their body shapes are generally the same, domestic rabbits can be quite different. They tend to be bred to look "nicer" or "fancier" (usually). For example, the brown rabbit in the video has a coat that is very...patchy in colour - bits of black, white, grey, brown, yellowy orange. I'm pretty sure that's a result of many generations of breeding between different coloured rabbits.
@rhinovirgin Mmmm...one is certainly capable of catching one and taking it home, but I do not endorse that kind of behaviour. These rabbits are feral - truly wild. They may live in an area where people are, but that does not make it okay for us to bring them back and keep them as pets.

@rhinovirgin @rhinovirgin You can have a look at this, it goes into much more detail if you're curious.
