(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Rabbit usually refers to the European rabbit,Oryctolagus cuniculus, and it is this species that is domesticated for food or as a pet. A number of other species within the family Leporidae are also called rabbits, but usually with an additional distinguishing name, e.g. cottontail rabbit.

† = Contains Vitamin A. ‡ = Contains goitrogens and/or oxalates, and may be toxic over long periods of time. Hay is essential for the health of all rabbits for a variety of reasons. A steady supply of hay will help prevent hairballs and other digestive tract problems in rabbits. Additionally, it provides a number of necessary vitamins and minerals at a low calorie cost. Rabbits should be provided with a constant, unlimited supply of hay for their consumption. Rabbits enjoy chewing on hay, and always having hay available for your rabbit may reduce its tendency to chew on other items in your house. It is also a good idea to provide hay in your rabbit's litterbox, as rabbits enjoying munching on food while they are defecating.
Not all hay is created equal, however. Timothy hay and other grass hays are considered the healthiest to provide your rabbit. As a persistently high blood calcium level can prove harmful to your rabbit, hays such as alfalfa and clover hay should be avoided. Alfalfa is also relatively high in calories, and a constant diet of it can cause obesity in rabbits.
Treats are unhealthy in large quantities for rabbits, just as they are for humans. Most treats sold in pet stores are filled with sugar and high calorie carbohydrates. These should be avoided; the vitamins they claim to provide aren't needed, since the vegetables will provide all the vitamins your rabbit needs. In addition, they contain high quantities of sugar and other simple carbohydrates which will make your rabbit obese. If you are determined to feed your rabbit treats, the best treat to provide them with is fruit. Below are some acceptable fruits:
Apple (no stem or seeds)
Banana†
Blackberry
Blueberries
Cantaloupe
Grapes†
Honeydew
Orange (including peel)
Papaya
Peach
Pear
Pineapple
Plums
Raspberries
Strawberries
Tomato
Watermelon
† = Use very sparingly, as rabbits will eat only these, and ignore their other food. Cecal pellets are mostly digested food that rabbits defecate and subsequently reingest; a process known as Coprophagia. Usually a rabbit will eat the pellets straight from their anus, and as such, many people do not know of this aspect of a rabbit's diet. They are often referred to as "night pellets" or "night droppings", since the rabbits tend to eat them a few hours after their evening meal.
Cecal pellets are soft, smelly, clumpy feces, and are a rabbit's only supply of Vitamin B12. Due to the design of the rabbit's digestive system, they cannot extract some vitamins and minerals directly from their food. At the end of their digestive system is an area called the cecum where cellulose and other plant fibers are broken down and ferment. After they have been broken down and passed, a rabbit's digestive system can finally extract the vitamins from them.
Occasionally, your rabbit may leave these pellets lying about their cage; while smelly, this behavior is harmless. If their cecal pellets are consistantly wet and runny, this may indicate either too little fiber, or too many starches in their diet. This probably means that they need to be fed additional hay.
Reproduction
Rabbits are famed for their reproductive capabilities. Although certainly not the strongest, fastest, or smartest of the mammals, they have carved out a strong ecological niche through their impressive ability to multiply quickly. This prolificness lead to the oft-used vulgarity, "fuck like bunnies" and the more proper, "multiply like rabbits".Rabbits have a very high success rate for impregnation, due to the fact that female rabbits ovulate at the time of copulation. The gestation cycle for a rabbit averages 31 days, although it can vary anywhere between 29 and 35 days. Litter sizes generally range between two and 12 rabbits.
Rabbits have many names they are known by. In the US (particularly), they are commonly referred to as bunny. Young rabbits are known by the names bunny, kit, or kitten. "Rabbit" itself used to be the word applied to the young, with the adult being called a cony or coney (pronounced cunny). This term fell out of useage owing to the taboo value of a homonym, and "rabbit" became common usage for both the young and the adult, with "bunny" entering into use later. A male rabbit is called a buck, and a female rabbit is called a doe. A group of rabbits is known as a herd.
Unless being bred for food, it is highly recommended that you get your rabbit either spayed or neutered. Female rabbits in particular face about an 80% change of contracting some form of reproductive cancer (ovarian, uterine or mammarian) at approximately two years of age. Spaying your female rabbit will nearly eliminate this risk. Furthermore, spaying and neutering will make your rabbit less prone to destructive behavior (such as spraying, chewing, and digging.) In addition to being less destructive, they will be calmer and will generally make better companions. As a bonus, altering your rabbit will help reduce the severe problem of domestic rabbit overpopulation.
Species
Notable species include the European rabbit, Oryctolagus cuniculus, which has been domesticated and through selective breeding has produced a wide range of breeds of pet rabbits. The wild form is well-known for digging networks of burrows called warrens. The American genus Sylvilagus comprises thirteen cottontail species.
Taxonomy
Unlike hares, they are born blind and furless, in a furlined nest, and totally dependent upon their mother. They were classified as Rodentia until 1912, when they were moved to the Lagomorpha order.Rabbits share the family Leporidae, together with the related hares. Their order, Lagomorpha, in addition to containing hares, also contains pikas.
Rabbits and people
Rabbits are popular pets. They are an example of an animal which is both petted and eaten by the same culture. Snares or shotguns are usually employed when catching rabbits for food. Dogs are often employed in rabbit hunting. Rabbits are often raised for meat called cuniculture. Rabbit pelts are a widely used fur for clothing.Because of their appetites, and the rate at which they breed, wild rabbit depredation can prove problematic for agriculture. Gassing, barriers (fences), shooting, snaring and ferreting have been used to control rabbit populations, as has the disease myxomatosis.
Rabbits in culture and literature
Rabbits are often used as a symbol of fertility. It is possibly as a consequence of this that they have been associated with Easter. The species' roles as a prey animal also lends itself as a symbol of innocence as an animal that seems to wish harm on no one. It is also common folklore archetype of the trickster who uses his cunning to outwit his enemies. The most common example of this is Brer Rabbit and by extension, the cartoon character Bugs Bunny also typifies this image.There is a rabbit among the 12 animals in the Chinese zodiac. See: Rabbit (Zodiac).
Rabbits have appeared in a host of works of film and literature, notably the White Rabbit in Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland; in the popular novel Watership Down; and as Rabbit feet are considered lucky, and fake rabbit feet are often sold as cheap trinkets.

Other usages
In British slang a "rabbit" is an inexperienced and/or incompetent person; the phrase can be qualified by the area of incompetence, e.g. a "tennis rabbit". In Cockney rhyming slang the word rabbit means to talk incessantly ("rabbit and pork"="talk"). This also inspired the song "Rabbit, Rabbit" by Chas 'n Dave, which features rapid-fire handovers between the two vocalists. Rabbit is the nickname of Eminem's character in the film 8 Mile. Rabbit Angstrom is the name of the central character in a series of novels by John Updike For some years the car manufacturer Volkswagen sold a model called the Rabbit in North America. Elsewhere in the world it was called the Golf. Welsh rabbit is a snack dish of toasted cheese. The spelling "Welsh rarebit" is a humourless euphemism.

In their natural environment and in captivity, rabbits are a benign, even useful species. When introduced by humans into other environments that have not evolved natural defences against them, however, rabbits can cause enormous damage. The best known example is the continent of Australia.Rabbits are the most serious mammal pest in Australia, an invasive species being responsible for the extinction of about as many native animals as the fox, and causing millions of dollars worth of damage to agriculture each year. They were originally introduced with the First Fleet in 1788, but the major infestation appears to have been due to 24 wild rabbits released by Thomas Austin on his Southern Victorian property in 1859, for hunting purposes.
Rabbits are extremely prolific, and had no true predators to keep numbers down, so they spread rapidly across the southern parts of the Australian continent.
Within ten years of the 1859 introduction, the original 24 had multiplied so fast that 2 million a year could be shot or trapped without having any noticable effect. Rabbits reached the New South Wales border in 1870. Fifteen years later they entered Queensland, and by 1900 the rabbit was firmly established nationwide. It was the fastest spread ever recorded of any mammal anywhere in the world.
The effect on the ecology of Australia was devastating: One eighth of all mammal species in Australia are now extinct (rabbits being the single most significant factor), and the loss of plant species will probably never be fully appreciated. Rabbits cause huge damage to agricultural economy. They are also responsible for serious erosion problems, preventing native plant growth to the point of extinction, impacting biodiversity, and ruining gardens.
Nowadays, landholders are legally bound to control rabbits to reduce impact on the land and local life. They can attempt to control rabbits through death, fertility control or exclusion, but the only really significant checks in rabbit numbers have been biological. Myxomatosis was released into the rabbit population in 1950, causing estimated rabbit population to drop from 600 million to 100 million. Genetic resistance in the remaining rabbits led to the population recovering to around 200-300 million by 1991. To combat this trend, CSIRO scientists released rabbit calicivirus in 1996. However, it was not as successful as myxomatosis: it was estimated to have been fatal to only 65% of infected rabbits, as opposed to 99% for myxomatosis. [1]
Meat rabbit farming, also called cuniculture, is a minor industry. It provides income diversification for some farmers. Annual revenue has been estimated at $AUD 5.5 million (1990/91). [1]
