Vienna Rabbit
The Vienna rabbit is a breed of domesticated rabbit originating in Austria. Whilst it is recognised by the British Rabbit Council as a "Normal Fur" breed, it is unrecognised by the American Rabbit Breeders Association. Origin The Vienna rabbit was originally bred by Wilheim Mucke in the late 1800s, who spent 15 years attempting to breed a rabbit with blue eyes. It has since become one of the most popular breeds in Europe. Appearance The Vienna rabbit can come in two varieties: a uniform white, or coloured. The coloured variety can be a dark slate blue, black or Agouti (a chestnut brown). It has ears approximately in length. Diet Like most other rabbits, this breed should be fed a mainly fibre-rich diet, consisting mainly of vegetables and timothy hay. Health The Vienna rabbit can suffer from overgrown teeth, ear mites and hairballs. It can be susceptible to digestive issues such as GI stasis which may cause intestinal blockage Bowel obstruction, also known ...

Rabbit Breeds
As of 2017, there were at least 305 breeds of domestic rabbit in 70 countries around the world. A rabbit breed is a distinct variety created through selective breeding (or occasionally natural selection) for specific characteristics, including size, fur (length, quality, or color), feed conversion ratio, climate adaptability, or temperament. Groups such as the American Rabbit Breeders Association (ARBA) and the British Rabbit Council (BRC) coordinate and standardize the desired qualities of their recognized breeds, through promotion and exhibition. Each rabbit breed is considered to benefit when a reputable breeder strives to emulate the purpose for the breed, often defined by the individual breed standard by which it may be judged. The global diversity of breeds reflects the breadth of the rabbit's unique qualities. Listed below are 191 of the world's modern-day rabbit breeds.

Leporidae
Leporidae is the family of rabbits and hares, containing over 60 species of extant mammals in all. The Latin word ''Leporidae'' means "those that resemble ''lepus''" (hare). Together with the pikas, the Leporidae constitute the mammalian order Lagomorpha. Leporidae differ from pikas in that they have short, furry tails and elongated ears and hind legs. The common name "rabbit" usually applies to all genera in the family except '' Lepus'', while members of ''Lepus'' (almost half the species) usually are called hares. Like most common names, however, the distinction does not match current taxonomy completely; jackrabbits are members of ''Lepus'', and members of the genera '' Pronolagus'' and '' Caprolagus'' sometimes are called hares. Various countries across all continents except Antarctica and Australia have indigenous species of Leporidae. Furthermore, rabbits, most significantly the European rabbit, ''Oryctolagus cuniculus'', also have been introduced to most of Oceani ...

Housebreaking
Housebreaking (American English) or house-training (British English) is the process of training a domesticated animal that lives with its human Humans (''Homo sapiens'') are the most abundant and widespread species of primate, characterized by bipedalism and exceptional cognitive skills due to a large and complex brain. This has enabled the development of advanced tools, culture, ... owners in a house or other residence to excrete ( urinate and defecate) outdoors, or in a designated indoor area (such as an absorbent pad or a litter box), rather than to follow its instinctive behaviour randomly inside the house. Around 840 million cats and dogs alone are owned as pets around the globe; and in the United States, seventy percent of households own a pet. The process requires patience and consistence from the human. Accidents are a part of the process, and if the pet's owner reacts negatively, it could be discouraged, and the success of the training might be delayed. ...

Timothy Hay
Timothy (''Phleum pratense'') is an abundant perennial grass native to most of Europe except for the Mediterranean region. It is also known as timothy-grass, meadow cat's-tail or common cat's tail. It is a member of the genus ''Phleum'', consisting of about 15 species of annual and perennial grasses. It is probably named after Timothy Hanson, an American farmer and agriculturalist said to have introduced it from New England to the southern states in the early 18th century. Upon his recommendation it became a major source of hay and cattle fodder to British farmers in the mid-18th century. Timothy can be confused with meadow foxtail (''Alopecurus pratensis'') or purple-stem cat's-tail (''Phleum phleoides''). Description Timothy grows to tall, with leaves up to long and broad. The leaves are hairless, rolled rather than folded, and the lower sheaths turn dark brown. It has no stolons or rhizomes, and no auricles. The flowerhead is long and broad, with densely packed ...
