They will settle well either indoor or outdoor, at home. There are 40 species of rabbits and hares worldwide. All domesticated rabbits are originated from European rabbits. The scientific name for domestic rabbit is Oryctolagus cuniculus. Typically, domesticated rabbits weigh between 2.2-221lb (1-10kg). The domesticated rabbits can be fed on commercially produced rabbit food, pellets, hay, green food, root vegetables, tree bark, herbs and apple. The gestation period of a rabbit is 31 days and the typical litter size ranges from 6-8 young. The lifespan varies with breed. Keeping a rabbit as pet requires a good training system to prevent unnecessary destructions or hassle.
