Structure of rabbit foot
Rabbits have shorter front legs and longer rear legs, and their muscles and tendons are more developed and stronger. A rabbit has a total of 18 toes, five toes on its front legs and four toes on its rear legs, making a total of 18 toes. Both rabbits and cats have claws, but the structure of claws is quite different. Cats' claws can freely retract into the meat pad, but rabbits' claws can't, so their claws are always exposed. At the same time, because of the structural differences between cats and rabbits, the fundamental difference between cats' claws and rabbits' claws is formed.

The difference between a cat's paw and a rabbit's paw is that:
Cats do not need claws for normal walking and other activities. Cats' claws are only useful when catching prey, climbing or playing. The rabbit's claws play a role in the normal walking and sitting posture of the rabbit, especially when the rabbit walks on a smooth floor or when the rabbit is overweight. In this case, if the rabbit has no claws, it may even cause its front legs to dislocate or overstretch. In addition, the functions of rabbit claws include:
1. Rabbits usually need to scratch their ears with the claws of their hind feet. Earwax in the ear canal of normal rabbits is called "ear honey" by doctors. Rabbit earwax is rich in vitamins. Many times, the rabbit will take it out with its hind paw and put it in its mouth to eat. In addition, the rabbit's behavior of pulling out its ears is actually nursing its own ears, keeping them clean and ventilated, and preventing ear canal diseases.
2. Rabbit paws also have the function of scratching. The scratching behavior of rabbits is not quite what we understand. This is not a rabbit's unnecessary behavior. Most of the time, rabbits only scratch when they are healthy and in a good mood. Rabbits don't behave like this when they are sick.
Dr Claw Claw introduced the toes of rabbits. The toes and claws of rabbits are very important to rabbits. Don't ignore the rabbit's paw when the owner usually takes care of it, otherwise the rabbit's paw problem will also bring great harm to the rabbit!
