Collect all carrots to proceed to the next level. Avoid wolves, by hiding in the rabbit holes. You can step twice, while wolves step one.

If they can't see you, they are dark red, and start to wander around. If the can, they turn bright red, and start to chase you down. They can't eat you, while you are in a rabbit hole.
