🐰 Rabbit
Hoppy little chatterboxes
Rabbits do happy 'binkies' — leaping and twisting in the air when they're joyful. They purr softly when content (by gently grinding their teeth) and form strong bonds with their humans and bunny friends. They're crepuscular: most active at dawn and dusk.

💛 What this means
Rabbits are still used for fur, meat, and lab testing in many places, often kept in tiny wire cages their whole lives. Some are abandoned after Easter when families realize they need lifelong care.
Choose 'cruelty-free' and 'vegan' on shampoo and makeup labels — and if you want a bunny friend, adopt from a rescue (never buy on a holiday). 🐰💕
