Rabbit Senses

[ilovetegocalderon]

I know rabbits see the best at dawn and dusk buthow is their vision at night? It is like ours?better? worse? Reason im asking is because just incase they cant see well at night I usually leave their bedroom light onand was wondering if this was a good idea to help them....also, how istheir sense of smell in comparison to ours or to otheranimals?? Would they be able to sniff out a piece of fruit ifi buried it?

I think in general rabbits have poorer visionthan humans. I assume that this includes nighttime. My bunnies live inmy bedroom, so I leave my light on untill I go to bed. Devon doesn'tseem to mind if I leave nightlights on, but Amber is usually *really*cranky in the morning if I have left one on (needless to say, I don'tuse nightlights anymore:shock.

As for smell, I believe they have much better sense of smell thanpeople. I don't know how they compare to a dog, though. I am, however,almost sure that a bunny would be able to sniff out a tasty morsel
