Rabbits come in both sexes: Male Rabbit and Female Rabbit

Catching Wild Rabbits

• Rabbits can be found in grass by dropping Carrots on the ground nearby. Carrots may randomly be replaced by white rabbits. If a spawn occurs, it will happen all at once - every carrot in visual range has a chance to change to a rabbit, all at the same time. You will have a very brief time (~25 seconds realtime) to pick up the rabbit before it disappears, along with your carrot.

• Rabbits can be caught day or night. Rabbits may be caught within minutes of placing carrots, or they may not spawn before the sweeper cleans up the carrots. Rabbits do not appear at a consistent time of day, or minute during an hour.

• The total number of carrots used may or may not affect the spawn rate - rabbits can spawn with as many as 25 carrots placed, and almost certainly with fewer.

• Rabbits may spawn multiple times within realtime minutes, or there may be hours between spawns at a given location.

• More male rabbits appear to spawn than female rabbits, generally, but both are possible in the same spawn. The gender of the avatar does not appear to have an effect on the ratio of male rabbits to female rabbits.

• Rabbits have been seen to appear even when the player is standing in the middle of a grid (e.g. 25 carrots over 5x5 coords), so the idea that you need to "back off" from them is not true. Rabbit spawning is not negatively affected by doing chores such as gathering grass, or by chatting with players.

• Rabbits can spawn from a placed grid multiple times. If you have carrots out and a spawn wave occurs, transforming some of the carrots to rabbits, it is completely possible a second spawn wave will occur later, transforming some of the remaining carrots. You do not have to pick up and re-place carrots for another spawn to occur.

• Rabbits MIGHT move in a "spawn wave" from South to North - twice when I had a rabbit spawn, neighbors to the north reported a rabbit spawn soon after, with the delay being higher the farther away we were from each other. This could also be a wave in other directions, or complete happenstance.

Breeding Rabbits

• Rabbits can be bred in a Rabbit Hutch, which can hold up to 100K Carrots for them to eat.

• They may be slaughtered for Rabbit Meat, the chance for a Rabbit Pelt and the chance for Rabbit Bones . Dexterity increases the chance to get a pelt and bones.

Byproducts

Depending on your Arthropodology skill level, slaughtering Rabbits may produce Skinlickers, White Sawflies, Toad Sawflies, Bat Mites, Stone Flies, Hairy Slugs and Rose Mites.
