Why do people call their kids rabbits?
Hundreds of years ago, rabbits were called "coneys" (pronounced with a soft o, as in "honey"), and baby coneys were called "rabbits." Over time, the word coney was phased out, and the word rabbit came to be used for the adults; baby rabbits are now called "kittens" (or "kits").
The current nickname for rabbits, "bunnies," derives from their original name. Some languages still use the original name (e.g. the Spanish word for "rabbit" is "conejo"; the Dutch, "konijn").
Some species have the word "rabbit" in their name, like the jack rabbit, when they're not actually rabbits: e.g. jack rabbits are hares. Hares and rabbits are closely related, though (both lagomorphs).
It's a common misconception that "bunny" means a baby rabbit. Baby rabbits are called "kits." The word "bunny" is just a nickname for "rabbits."
More Answers:
Rabbits has a scientific name "Lagomorph" which means long ears, big feet, and continually growing teeth. So a man named a rabbit a rabbit for all its appearances.
A rabbit is called a rabbit because it is the adult form of a bunny.
That's incorrect - a common misconception!
What do rabbits do when they feel danger?
Jack rabbits avoid predators by blending in with their surroundings, and by using their large ears to hear approaching animals. When they are attacked, they can run away quickly, or use their powerful hind legs to kick smaller predators. They do have sharp claws, and large front gnawing teeth, but use them mainly against other rabbits.
Will a female rabbit try to mate another female rabbit?
Yes, they will try to mate with each other. They are signaling to a buck that they are ready to breed. They are not actually trying to breed. BUT every rabbit should have it's own cage so how is this happening?
Another opinion: Rabbits of both sexes sometimes mount another rabbit as a show of dominance. Mounting isn't always a sexual behaviour. One female mounting another is trying to assert dominance. Keep an eye on your bunnies and separate them if it turns to fighting.
Rabbits can be kept in the same cage if they're bonded. Usually this means the rabbits must be neutered/spayed - but, in some cases, when they've been raised together, female rabbits can be kept together even when they aren't spayed, and they won't fight. When rabbits are bonded, that means they don't fight and are affectionate. The bonding process can take anywhere from a couple weeks, to many months of patience and hard work.

Newborn baby bunnies eat their mother's milk 1 or 2 times a day until she weans them at about 8 weeks. If the doe won't feed them, flip her over and hold her firmly but gently, then have someone put the babies to her teats so they can get her milk to come in. Look for the babies to have round, full bellies at each feeding. Pull the fur from around her teats and use it to put in the nest. It won't hurt her and the babies need to stay very warm!
Sometimes the babies are abandoned for some reason, and you can TRY to foster them to another doe who has kits (babies) about the same age. Get the foster doe's scent on the babies before putting them with her, or put a tiny drop of vanilla on their noses and her nose.
A newborn baby bunny can go 2 or 3 days without eating.
If fostering doesn't work or is not possible, you can TRY to mix a formula of 1 part Karo syrup, 1 part evaporated milk, and 1 part water, feeding with a calibrated syringe or eye dropper until their bellies are round and full once in the morning and once at night. Be careful not to drown them. However, remember you are fighting against nature here. Sometimes there is nothing you can do.
As for baby bunnies 6 - 8 weeks of age or more, they can eat lots of timothy hay, rabbit pellets from the store, parsley, bananas, apples, carrots, spinach, romaine lettuce (iceburg lettuce is bad for rabbits), raisins, turnip greens, dandelion greens, and a fun treat is Nilla Wafers.
If the baby bunnies (also known as kits) are still with their mother, they'll feed on their own with their mother's milk.
If they're old enough to be away from their mother, they can eat greens such as green grass (make sure there are no fertilizers being used), lettuce, and small, chopped up carrots.
If these kits are wild, I do suggest that you do not feed them or touch them, as the mother will most likely abandon them.
Rabbits are intelligent animals with problem-solving skills, memory retention, and the ability to learn tricks and commands. They may not be as responsive to training as dogs, but they can be litter-trained and form strong bonds with their owners. Overall, their intelligence level falls between that of cats and dogs, with individual differences in abilities and behaviors.
