I\'ve heard that rabbits have good eyesight, but do they see in color? Also, do they see better far away by chance? I notice some times when I drop a treat really close to Petey he has a hard time finding it-- he can smell that it is near but can\'t easily find it up close.

I\'ve noticed that same thing with our rabbits. I had put it to the three competing for a treat and not really paying close attention. But the other rabbits do it too and they are each in their own cage.

So Charlcie, what\'s the answer?

Prey animals have their eyes on the sides of their head, giving them an extremely large field of vision, allowing them to see almost all the way around their body. I have read that their close up vision is not very good.

I have heard that many dwarf varieties of rabbits are almost blind, due to a genetic defect. I am wondering if this is true.

rabbits see better far away, way better as far as I know.

I hope when you say "punished unseverely" that you really mean unseverely. I would hate for you to break the bond you have with your rabbit just for a school project! Rabbits are extremely sensitive to negative stimuli. They are not like dogs in the sense that they accept discipline from an "alpha" without question. Rather, they start to see the person who administers punishment as an enemy, and may undergo behavioral changes that will NOT be pleasant for either you or your bunny.
