What Colors Can Rabbits See?

Something that has always interested me is wondering, “what does life look like from an animals POV?”

The interesting thing about rabbits is that they cannot see red. Unlike humans, rabbits only have two cones in their eyes. Anything not green or blue is perceived as gray since their two cones cannot absorb any other colors.

Rabbits have more rods than people do though, which allows them better vision when it’s both dusk and dark outside.

Since rabbits are dichromatic and can only see two colors, it’s safe to say that adding blue and green elements in their enclosure would definitely spruce it up for your bun!
