i have a neighbor who has 4 rabbits.. but i havent heard any sound from them.. the only time that i remember hearing a sound from them was when they were having the "do" thing. apart from that, they are silent.. completely silent.. are they really like that?

Mine makes these little wiffeling noises when he is happy or wants attention. Other than that he's pretty quiet except when he plays with his toys which he likes to toss around. Overall a really good pet with lots of personallity even if he's quiet.

I agree. But I have one question, how do we know that the rabbit is happy when we are around, just as the dog wags his tail to tell us that hes happy to see us. Have you ever felt that your pet "DA WABBIT" is happy if you're with him?

Good point, no real way of knowing if he's happy or not, just seems like it for some reason or another. Sometimes he will hop around in circles if people come over to watch him, which makes it seem as though he is happy.

Yeah! Rabbits are really silent and actually, it is nice to have a pet like them. I do have rabbits at home but unfortunately, they were transferred to other place. They are similar to rats. Actually, they are useful in your backyards because they eat some grasses. No need mow your lawn hehe.. These rabbits are cute. You would surely not be bored when having them as your pet.

I maybe have a not-so-good sense of hearing to hear those little noise. Thanks for the information by the way!

No they arn't silent. Obv they are very quiet but they make all sorts of little noises. snuffling, honking, sometimes quiet squeaking. My rabbit makes really cute little noises when he is happy, wants attention or is after treats.

Yes, they really are. I had a rabbit for a few years and she was very quiet. The only time that I every heard a squeak from her was when she was being washed on her bottom because her poop was sticking to her. She only reacted to pain with a smaill squeak. Other than that she was silent and very well behaved. A good pet to have, poop and all.
