...In appearance most cottontail rabbits closely resemble the wild European Rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus). Most members of the genus have a stub tail with a white underside that shows when they are retreating, giving them their name "cottontails."

What color are the eyes of a Specifically a desert
cottontail.
I have looked at many pictures
and in fact I see cottontail
rabbits outside most every day
and take pictures of them, but
I can't see in pictures
whether the eyes are black or
brown. They don't let you get
that close, either.

Can a wild Cottontail rabbit I have had a a wild Cottontail
rabbit for over a month now
and I have been trying to find
things to wear down his teeth.
I am giving him broccoli
stems, but it isn't working as
fast. So I was wanting to give
him some others to help. I
know that orchard grass is
good for them but is that just
a digestive aid? If you know
any other things to feed him
let me know. Thank you so much
for your help.
