When approaching hares there are a few telltale signs that they’re happy or unhappy/nervous. I always say that a happy hare is a grooming hare and this is generally true. If an animal feels comfortable you can usually expect them to be grooming or feeding regularly with ears back and fur flat to the body. Whereas an unhappy or nervous hare will have ears erect, fur will stand up and the head will be up and alert. By watching these tiny changes in the body language of the animal, you can ensure that we’re never upsetting the animal - or at least avoiding it as much as possible.
