Rabbits communicate with each other through body language by using various signals such as:

  1. Thumping their hind legs to signal danger or to get attention.
  2. Nipping or nudging to establish dominance or show affection.
  3. Licking to groom and bond with other rabbits.
  4. Ears positioning - ears back can indicate fear or aggression, while ears forward can show curiosity or happiness.
  5. Tail wagging - a relaxed wagging tail shows contentment, while a thumping tail can indicate irritation or fear.

These are just a few examples of how rabbits use body language to communicate with each other.

Rabbits communicate with each other through body language by using various signals such as thumping their hind legs to warn others of danger, raising their tails as a sign of curiosity or excitement, and grooming each other to show affection and establish social bonds. They also use ear positioning, eye contact, and various postures to convey information to other rabbits in their group.
