What does it mean if a rabbit is described as having "spraddled legs"?

When a rabbit is described as having "spraddled legs," it specifically refers to the condition where its forefeet are bowed outward. This term typically indicates a physical deformity or abnormality in the rabbit's gait and posture, which can affect its ability to move effectively and may require attention for proper care. Understanding this term is crucial for recognizing potential health issues in rabbits and ensuring they are healthy and well-cared for.

In contrast, a description of short and compact legs relates to the overall stature and build of the rabbit rather than its limb alignment. Similarly, long, straight legs would imply a different physical characteristic that does not pertain to the abnormality of leg positioning, while well-aligned legs suggests normal leg posture, which is not applicable in the context of spraddled legs.
