A young rabbit is commonly referred to as a kit or kitten. The term kit is more frequently used, especially in the context of wild rabbits. When referring to domestic rabbits, the term kitten is also used, though it is less common.
Rabbits are born blind and hairless, and they rely entirely on their mother for the first few weeks of their lives. As they grow, they develop fur and their eyes open, becoming more independent. The term kit is used until they reach adulthood, which typically occurs around 6 to 8 months of age.
