Yes, rabbits often sleep with their eyes open, a behavior that helps them stay alert to potential dangers even while resting. As prey animals, rabbits have evolved to sleep with their eyes open to quickly detect any movement or threats around them.

This unique trait is common among rabbits and can sometimes make it hard for pet owners to tell when their rabbit is actually asleep. Understanding this behavior is essential for rabbit care, as it highlights their need for a safe and secure environment to reduce stress and ensure proper rest.
