Oryctolagus cuniculus domesticus
Also called crossbreed rabbit, mixed-breed bunny, non-pedigree rabbit, pet rabbit, domestic rabbit
From Worldwide. All domestic rabbits, pedigree or mixed, descend from the European rabbit, which was kept in Roman enclosures by the 1st century BC and gradually domesticated through the Middle Ages, notably by monks in southern France.1
RSPCA figure for well-cared-for pet rabbits in general; some live longer, and the record is close to 19 years.
varies: short normal fur is most common, but lop ears, rex, long or woolly coats can all appear depending on ancestry
Every mixed-breed rabbit is a one-off. Ears may stand up or flop, the body may be small and round or long and rangy, and the coat can be anything from short and sleek to long and fluffy, depending on which breeds are in the family tree.14
Temperament depends on the individual rabbit and how it has been raised more than on breed. Rabbits are social, curious and intelligent: they can learn their name and simple tricks, show happiness by leaping and twisting in the air ('binkies'), and thump a back foot when alarmed. Most are most lively at dawn and dusk.21
Needs daily freedom to run, jump, dig and stand up tall. The House Rabbit Society suggests at least four hours a day (or about 30 hours a week) of exercise time, along with toys, tunnels, platforms and forage trays for mental stimulation.32
Depends on coat: short coats need a weekly brush, more often during moults, while long or woolly coats need frequent grooming. Check nails regularly. Hay chewing keeps the teeth, which grow around 2-3 mm a week, worn down. Neutering is strongly recommended by rabbit welfare groups.235
A hutch on its own is not enough. UK welfare groups advise at least 3 m x 2 m x 1 m high for a pair of average-sized rabbits, with shelter, hiding spots and room to exercise. Indoor rabbits can use a litter tray.216
Unlimited hay as the main food (about 80% of the diet), plus fresh leafy greens (about 10%), a small daily portion of pellets, and fruit only as an occasional treat. Carrots are a treat rather than a staple.321
Very social. Rabbits should live with at least one other friendly rabbit, ideally a neutered male and neutered female pair, and enjoy gentle daily interaction with people. Pairs bond through mutual grooming.231
Rabbits of mixed ancestry are as old as rabbit keeping itself. The Romans kept European rabbits in walled enclosures called leporaria, and by around the 12th century monks in southern France were deliberately breeding them. Domestication was gradual, running from Roman times into the 1500s. Distinct breeds were developed much later, and today there are hundreds of them. Whenever different breeds or unregistered rabbits are paired, the result is a mixed-breed rabbit. Keeping rabbits as indoor house pets took off in the 1980s, and many of the rabbits waiting in rescues today are mixed breeds.13
A happy rabbit may do a 'binky', a sudden jump with a twist in mid-air.2
A rabbit's front teeth never stop growing, at about 2-3 mm a week, which is why hay is so important.2
Rabbits can see almost all the way around themselves, with blind spots only under the chin and in front of the nose.2
Each ear can swivel about 180 degrees to pinpoint sounds.2
Wild rabbit warrens can spread over more than two acres and hold around 50 rabbits.2
The oldest known pet rabbit, Flopsy, lived to almost 19 years.2
Every pet rabbit, mixed or pedigree, descends from one wild species, the European rabbit.1

Not veterinary advice. Check with your vet first if your pet has allergies, a health condition, is on a special diet or is pregnant. Treats should stay a small part of the daily food. Cut to a safe size and supervise. Terms of use
Your rabbit needs unlimited hay every day, plus a daily portion of fresh leafy greens and a small measured amount of pellets. Follow the food label for pellet amounts and check with your vet for your rabbit's specific needs.327 Pet Wiki plan
Unlimited hay should be about 80% of the diet, with fresh leafy greens and a small daily portion of pellets. Fruit is only an occasional treat. Never give avocado, chocolate, onions, garlic, grapes, raisins, or muesli mixes, as these are dangerous.32178
Rabbits generally do not need baths, as they keep themselves clean. Bathing can stress them and cause health issues. If your rabbit gets very dirty, consult a vet for safe cleaning advice.23
Yes, brushing needs depend on the coat. Short coats need a weekly brush, more often during moults, while long or woolly coats need frequent grooming. Furry Diary's starting plan suggests weekly brushing, daily while moulting.235 Pet Wiki plan
Check nails regularly and trim as needed, about every six weeks. Teeth never stop growing, so provide unlimited hay to wear them down, and check weekly. A vet can show you how to trim nails safely.235 Pet Wiki plan
Your rabbit needs daily freedom to run, jump, and dig, at least four hours a day. A hutch alone is not enough; UK welfare groups advise at least 3m x 2m x 1m high for a pair, with shelter and toys.3216 Pet Wiki plan
Rabbits are very social and should live with at least one other friendly rabbit, ideally a neutered male and female pair. They also enjoy gentle daily interaction with people.231
Mixed breed rabbits typically live between 8 and 12 years with good care. Their lifespan can vary based on diet, environment, and genetics.21
Rabbits can be good for older, gentle children who understand calm handling. They are social and curious but can be easily frightened. Always supervise interactions and teach children to respect the rabbit's space.21
Always support the rabbit's full body, with one hand under the chest and the other supporting the hindquarters. Never pick up by the ears or scruff. Rabbits can be nervous, so approach slowly and let them feel secure.23
