While females are often the ones responsible for the initial burrow construction and nurturing young within it, males also participate in the process.
Here's why:
* Territory and Breeding: Male rabbits often dig burrows to establish territories and attract mates.
* Protection: Both males and females use burrows for shelter from predators and harsh weather conditions.
* Raising Young: While females primarily care for young in the burrow, males sometimes help with guarding and providing food.
It's important to remember that rabbits are social animals, and both genders share responsibilities in their community.
