Question

What is the difference between a bunny and a rabbit?

Answer 1

no difference just where you come from or how old you are people say it differently

  

Answer 2

Nothing.  They are different names for the same thing, people just think 'bunny' sounds cuter.  Someone will probably answer that a bunny is a baby rabbit, but it isn't.  Baby rabbits are called kits, bunny and rabbit are used interchangeably to refer to any age of rabbit.  

Answer 3

AGE ! A bunny is a small, young rabbit !

Answer 4

No, firstly the people stating that a bunny is a young rabbit, or a baby are completely incorrect, there is no difference, it's just a preference.

I perfer to use the term "Bunny" when I'm just casually talking

But I like to use "Rabbit" If I'm trying to re-enfore a statement, or a fact. Such as the following, this is an exsample of how I use "Bunny" And "Rabbit"

"Make sure to give your bunny lots of water during the summer, she'll need it to stay healthy! "

"If you don't give your rabbit enough water, he'll die always keep a bottle or dish full"

Which statment sounds lighter?

I say the term "Bunny" Does.

To conclude, there is no difference between a bunny and a Rabbit.

However there is a difference in the following.

Doe-Female

Buck-Male

Kit-Baby

Weanling- Just weaned Baby

Dam-The Mom

Sire-The Dad

I hope this helped!

Answer 5

No difference.

Bunny is just a cute name for a rabbit, whereas rabbit is the 'official' name.

Young rabbits are not bunnies, they're called 'kits'.

Like Bugs Bunny wasn't a tiny bunny, he was an adult bunny.

Answer 6

a bunny is a baby, a rabbit is an adult.
