  Rabbit Care
Commercial rabbit pellets are high in calories, low in volume and require little chewing, which is a problem for an animal such as a rabbit that was designed to eat large volumes of tough, high fiber foods in its natural diet.
Rabbits can obtain all the nutrients necessary from hay and fresh foods, as they are very efficient at making their own vitamins and minerals through the recycling of cecotropes, which they produce from their hind gut, eat, and redigest (see section on "night droppings").
Rabbits have a very lightweight skeleton and very strong, powerful hind legs, and if they are startled and kick out into the air with their hind legs, they can easily break their back due to this force.

Much of the book seems to satirize the country-club set and the swinging sexual/social life of Rabbit and his friends, but Updike again moves the story onto a higher plain, which would seem to justify those critics who think that his vision is unquestionably religious in its essential nature.

More than either Rabbit, Run (1961) or Rabbif Redux (1971), the new book moves easily, and convincingly in the main, from vulgar talk about physi- cal matters--particularly various parts of women's bodies--to a rather elegant and sad poetry of the spirit, particularly the spirits of the dead who surround and haunt our protagonist: The dead.
He "is" Rabbit insofar as his interests as a novelist don't lie in a critical and dramatic treat- ment of his hero's moral life; he is not interested in exploring Jamesian-Con- radian complexities and ambiguities of character and judgment, and surely not in showing his car salesman hero to be really a slob.
