Randjesfontein is known to have a few rabbits hooping and bouncing freely in the estate.  A few weeks back we welcomed a baby rabbit (formally known as a kitten) in our backyard. With a white fluffy little tail, long-standing brown(ish) ears and fuzzy brown(ish) fur with a bit of white tint on his back.  The Tholo Team wishes the little bunny a bouncy time at the lodge.

A FEW FUN RABBIT FACTS:

• A bunny ‘s big ears aren’t for listening only! They also help regulate the rabbit’s body temperature.  The ears’ blood vessels swell when it’s hot and contract when its cold.
• To express happiness, bunnies will sometimes jump around and flick their heads and feet. That adorable behavior is known within the rabbit community as a “binky.”
• By the age of 3- 8 months old rabbits start breeding.
• Rabbits can have around 2 to 12 babies.
• Rabbits have an average lifespan of five to 10 years.
