Wild rabbits live in extended groups in warrens underground with many interlinking tunnels.
Rabbits are classed as Lagomorphs, a group whose distinguishing characteristics include paired incisor teeth in the upper jaw, feeding without the use of fore limbs and the habit of pseudo-rumination, which means swallowing their own droppings. Have a look at Books on Animals for reviews of books on rabbits . Choosing a rabbit A rabbit is best acquired when it is between 9-12 weeks old, because it will be easier to handle and tame at this age. Rabbits are social animals and require companionship, so two rabbits are better than one, if they are to live outside. If the rabbit is to live indoors as a house rabbit, then a lone rabbit will be quite content living as part of the family.
