Rabbits are the third most common mammalian pet in the United States. They make good pets because they generally are nonaggressive and are playful, active, and curious. They form strong social bonds, both with rabbits they live with in the household and with the humans who care for them. They have several behaviors derived from their wild counterparts that can cause problems, if not properly allowed for, or be beneficial, such as their proclivity to use a specific site for elimination.
兔子是美国第三大常见的哺乳动物宠物。它们是很好的宠物,因为它们通常不具有攻击性,而且爱玩、活跃、好奇。它们与家中一起生活的兔子和照顾它们的人类都建立了很强的社会联系。它们有一些源自野生同类的行为,如果不加以适当的允许,可能会造成问题,但也可能是有益的,例如它们倾向于使用特定的地点进行排泄。
