Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who have been credited with discovering domestic rabbits?

Answer: Phoenicians

Their writing tells us of creatures that closely resemble the rabbits we see today. (ARBA Official Guidebook)

2. When do rabbits eat their own feces?

Answer: during the night or early morning

Eating of the night feces, or coprophagy, is a normal rabbit habit. This activity allows them to obtain B vitamins and improve their digestion. (ARBA)

3. Before cages, how did people house rabbits?

Answer: walled rabbit gardens

During the first century B.C. leporaria gardens were first used in Spain. They had trees and bushes for shade and protection and soon rabbit meat became a delicacy. They distributed rabbits to several islands to keep up with the demand, but the rabbits quickly multiplied and destroyed the vegetation with no normal predators to keep them in control. (ARBA Official Guidebook)

4. What is another name for trap-teeth?

Answer: simple malocclusion

Malocclusion (same as buck-teeth) is when the lower teeth overlap the top teeth. Simple malocclusion is when the teeth are just touching each other and neither one overlap the other. All types of malocclusion are disqualifications on a show rabbit. (ARBA Standard of Perfection)

5. Can a domestic rabbit be bred to any wild rabbit?

Answer: Only with a wild European rabbit

Domestic rabbits are descended from the wild European rabbits so they can be bred together. Cottontails and domestic rabbits are different species so they can't be bred together. (ARBA)

6. Where's the best place to breed rabbits?

Answer: in the buck's cage

If the buck is brought to the doe's cage the doe may attack him or the buck may be more interested in the new surroundings. (ARBA Official Guidebook)

7. What's a cause of breeding problems?

Answer: all of these

There are several different causes of breeding problems in rabbits. Rabbits should be healthy, in good condition, and reach the right age before being bred. (ARBA Official Guidebook)

8. If a rabbit is going to be shown in an ARBA show in the United States, what does it need so it can be identified on the judging tables?

Answer: a tattoo in its left ear

A rabbit's tattoo can be any combination of letters and numbers in its left ear. The only tattoo allowed in their right ear is the registration emblem or number that a registrar gives them at the time of registration. Ear tags are only given to cavies. (ARBA Standard of Perfection)

9. What rabbits can be raised for their wool?

Answer: Angoras

Some people who raise Angoras use their wool to make scarves, sweaters, and many other clothing items. (ARBA)

10. What does a pregnant bunny do when she's getting ready to have a litter?

Answer: pull fur

When a doe is getting ready to have her litter she will start to collect anything she can use to make a nest. If there's shavings or newspaper in the bottom of her nest box she'll dig and make a nice comfy spot for her babies. She will also pull fur to keep her babies warm. (ARBA)
