A domestic rabbit is a rabbit that has been domesticated, which means it is cared for by humans and doesn't live in the wild.

Domestic rabbits are from the European Rabbit species. They live all over the world.

Domestic rabbits are kept for several reasons:

  • Pet
  • Meat and/or fur
  • Research/lab animal
  • Performance (e.g. magician's rabbits, movie/TV)
