Rabbits are in the class "mammalia" and the order "lagamorpha." So, they are mammals. Their type of mammal is lagamorph. They are not rodents as some people think. Lagamorphs consist of rabbits, hares, and pikas.

Is a rabbit a ectothermic vertebrate?

No. A rabbit is endothermic. "Endo" means "internal" and "therm" means "heat." A rabbit regulates its body temperature internally through its metabolism. Ectothermic vertebrates (colloquially known as "cold-blooded" vertebrates) use the external environment to regulate their temperature. For example, a snake (ectothermic) basks in the sun to stay warm and retreats under shade to stay cool. Rabbits and snakes are vertebrates because they have spines. An example of an invertebrate would be a jellyfish.
