Rabbits are small mammals in the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, found in several parts of the world. There are seven different genera in the family classified as
rabbits, including the European rabbit Oryctolagus cuniculus, Cottontail rabbit genus Sylvilagus; 13 species, and the Amami rabbit Pentalagus furnessi, endangered species on Amami shima, Japan. There are many other species of rabbit, and these, along with pikas and hares, make up theorder Lagomorpha.
They arn't innocent little creatures =|
Rabbits are herbivores who feed by grazing on grass, forbs, and leafy weeds. In consequence, their diet contains large amounts of cellulose, which is hard to digest. Rabbits solve this problem by passing two distinct types of feces: hard droppings and soft black viscous pellets, the latter of which are immediately eaten. Rabbits reingest their own droppings rather than chewing the cud as do cows and many other herbivores to digest their food further and extract sufficient nutrients.

Question- Do rabbits eat there young =|
Ans- People that raise a lot of rabbits occasionally come across a doe that eats her young. If this is her first or second litter, she may be forgiven for she knoweth not what she doeth. But if she eats babies with each litter, there's no sense in breeding her anymore. There is no known cause or cure. The problem is that rabbits do not have the same motherly instinct as dogs or cats who will protect their young. Some does will simply neglect their young and let them die. The majority of does, however, once they get the knack of things, will take care of their babies to the extent that their limited instinct will allow them. For instance, baby rabbits must remain in their nest box and not come out of it until they're ready because the mother will not take them back into the box.
Sorry i couldn't find a rabbit eating a rabbit for ya =|
