How High Can Bunnies Jump

By Christine

Jumping is one activity rabbits excel at, and they do it for various reasons.

They jump for joy, called a rabbit binky, and they leap great heights to escape perceived threats.

Seeing their pet’s leaping prowess, many first-time fur parents may wonder how high bunnies can jump. Well, quite high, actually.

But even though they’re natural jumpers, that doesn’t mean they won’t come to any harm from this ingrained habit.

Why Do Rabbits Jump Anyway?

The anatomy of their feet makes hopping so natural for them. Moreover, rabbits have such strong legs that they can leap forward almost 10 feet in a single bound.

How High Can Rabbits Jump?

The highest recorded rabbit jump stands at 39.2 inches or just a little over 3 feet. However, some fur parents say they’ve seen rabbits jump as high as 48 inches (4 feet).

How Far Can Rabbits Fall Without Getting Injured?

If they can jump as high as 4 feet, then they can also safely fall from that same height, right? Not exactly. When bunnies jump, they’re prepared for the impact when they land. Falling is another matter.

Several factors come into play that affects how safely they’ll get back on the ground.
