The terms rabbit and rabbit are often used interchangeably in practices that can be confused. For example, rabbits are actually rabbits, and rock rabbits and hispid rabbits are rabbits. Rabbits differ from rabbits in size, life cycle, and preferred habitat. In general, rabbits are smaller than rabbits and have shorter ears. They are born with no hair and eyes closed after a gestation period of 30-31 days.

Much less lovable rabbit behavior: After digesting a meal, rabbits sometimes eat their own poop and process it a second time. It may sound harsh, but dung is actually an essential part of a rabbit's diet. They even produce a special type of excrement called cacotopias that is softer than normal granules and made for eating. Rabbits have a fast-moving digestive system, and by re-digesting their feces, their body can absorb the nutrients it loses for the first time.
