What kind of behavior does a Bunny have?

Even though a rabbit may not be pregnant, an un-spayed female sometimes builds a nest and pulls hair from her chest and stomach to line the nest. She may even stop eating — behavior that usually occurs the day before she gives birth. Bunnies, like other pets, are occasionally naughty. When that happens, remember that you should never hit a rabbit.

How can you tell if a rabbit is playing or fighting?
