Why do rabbits dig holes? How deep can they dig?

In order to avoid enemy attacks during the day, to find shelter in cold weather or to give birth, most rabbits dig holes. The types of caves vary with the types of rabbits, and are also related to whether the soil is soft, sandy or hard.

Some rabbits nest in ready-made caves. Rabbits in Europe live in groups in underground caves extending in all directions. This underground cave has many entrances, some of which are 3 meters deep and 45 meters long.

Extended data:

The rabbit is a timid animal. Sudden noises, strangers and strange animals, such as cats and dogs, will make it panic. In feeding management, we should try our best to avoid the noise that causes rabbits to panic, and at the same time, strangers, cats and dogs should be prohibited from entering the rabbit house. The rabbit has a keen sense of hearing and smell, but it is timid and good at running.

Sudden shock-when there is a sudden noise, you will immediately be alert or run away quickly. When people suddenly make noises or smells, or see strangers, dogs, cats, snakes, mice, insects, etc. They will panic, they will make a loud noise (bang), stamp their feet (stomp their feet), run and bump into the cage to escape from the enemy.

Its home generally has many holes (the three caves of the sly rabbit) to avoid enemies. In winter, they only follow their own footprints.
