So why are the rabbit's ears so important, and what is the correct way to handle a rabbit? Check out the video to find out more.

About the 'Hopping into Tunian' series:

Can rabbits drink water? Should you pull a rabbit's ears? What are the world's largest and smallest rabbit species? 2023 is the Year of the Rabbit, or Tunian, on the Chinese lunar calendar.
