Expert Answer

When a rabbit is hit, it is very likely to be frightened and become depressed, sensitive, and irritable. It may also show signs such as loss of appetite, trembling, hiding, reluctance to drink water, and avoiding interaction with people.

In addition, some rabbits are extremely timid and may suffer a stress reaction after being hit, leading to symptoms such as kicking, limb convulsions, foaming at the mouth, and listlessness.

Finally, many parts of a rabbit’s body are quite fragile. If the owner fails to control their force, they may seriously injure the rabbit and leave it with lasting aftereffects.
