What is the exact function of non-mammals in Peppa Pig? One blogger for the Houston Press puts it very succinctly – ‘they are slaves and food’.

So why the divide? Why do some animals get to be bipedal and have credit cards, while others have to remain as nature intended, minding their own business and pooing on the floor? I think the answer is simple – mammals get to be human, birds, fish and reptiles do not. Other pets owned by the children include a goldfish, a stick insect, and a gecko. Polly the parrot, who lives with Granny and Grandpa Pig, sits on a perch, repeating the occasional word. The same goes for Tiddles, the show’s tortoise, although bizarrely he behaves more like a cat than a tortoise – in one episode he gets stuck up a tree, and has to be rescued by the vet. Ducks, for example, are just ducks – they swim around on the pond, quacking and eating bread. But there are a few exceptions to this rule. Most animals in the Peppa Pig universe are as human as you and me – they wear clothes, live in houses, and argue over what to watch on TV. This is presumably because she never has a long enough break from all her drudgery to put any on. One last thing – Miss Rabbit is the only female who doesn’t wear eyeliner. If, however, you’re one of life’s single losers, then you must be punished for all eternity by having to do all the jobs in the world just to keep yourself in Tesco Value carrots, you massive failure. Nevertheless, I think the moral of this story is clear – if you can find a man stupid enough to marry you, then you never have to work a day in your life.

Mummy Rabbit immediately becomes all indignant and defensive, and answers with something along the lines of ‘Well it isn’t exactly a walk in the park looking after you, you know’. In Miss Rabbit’s Day Off, Rebecca is seen asking her mother why she never does any work like Miss Rabbit.

She has a sister – ‘stay at home mum’ Mummy Rabbit, mother of Rebecca and Richard Rabbit. However, Miss Rabbit is not the only Rabbit.
