Can A Rabbit Really Bite Your Finger Off!?
According to the National Pest Management Association, rabbits are the third most popular pet in the US. They are also one of the most popular animals to be given as Easter gifts. But can a rabbit really bite your finger off?
Rabbits are actually quite gentle creatures. However, they are also prey animals, so they have evolved to have powerful back legs and sharp teeth to defend themselves. If a rabbit feels threatened, it may try to bite.
Rabbit bites are not usually very serious, but they can be painful. If you are bitten by a rabbit, wash the wound with soap and water and see a doctor if it is bleeding heavily or if you think the bone may be broken.
