∙ 14y agoIf by ruminant, you mean an animal that eats grass, swallows it to store in the stomach only to regurgitate and chew it later, then no. The rabbit is not a ruminant.
However, there are some people particularly in the religious community who say that the rabbit "in essence" ruminates. This is because there are certain verses in The Bible that classify the rabbit as a "chewer of the cud." They use the fact that rabbits do practice corporphagia or eating its own dung. So while rabbits don't bring food up from their stomachs they eventually eat some of their food twice. But by the modern definition rabbits do NOT "chew the cud."
