Species: domestic rabbit
A domestic or domesticated rabbit — more commonly known as a pet rabbit, a bunny, or a bunny rabbit — is any domesticated variety of the species of European rabbit. Beginning in the 1980s, the idea of the domestic rabbit as a house companion, a so-called house rabbit, was promoted. Rabbits can be litter box-trained and may come when called, but they need exercise and can damage a house that is not "rabbit proof".
Rabbits have been kept as pets in Western nations since the 19th century, but because of the destructive history of feral rabbits in Australia, domestic rabbits are illegal as pets in Queensland.
