Do wild rabbits lay on their side to sun or have babies?

Wild rabbits typically do not lie on their side to sunbathe; instead, they often sit upright or stretch out on their bellies while sunning themselves. When it comes to having babies, wild rabbits (like the European rabbit) create a nest in a shallow burrow, where they give birth and care for their young. They are more likely to remain alert and cautious during this time to protect their offspring.
