Did you know rabbit whiskers are like their own built-in radar system? These adorable, long sensory hairs – also known as vibrissae – are not just for show; they’re packed with superpowers to help rabbits stay safe and sound!

Picture them as tiny feelers that are always on high alert! Bunny whiskers are super sensitive and can sense the smallest changes in their environment, like a breeze, a gentle touch, or a delicious snack nearby. 



Think of whiskers as mini detectives that pick up air vibrations and let a bunny know if someone (or something) is close. This gives them an edge in spotting hidden treats or knowing when their favorite human is nearby! 


Thinking about giving your bunny a “whisker trim”? Think again! Those adorable whiskers are way more than cute—they’re essential for your rabbit’s safety and comfort. Trimming whiskers is a big no-no in the world of top-notch bunny care. Good rabbit groomers know that whiskers are essential for a rabbit’s safety, comfort, and confidence, so they always leave them untouched.
