About r/Rabbits
In its own words:
/r/rabbits is an open community where users can learn, share cute pictures, or ask questions about rabbits. Please note we are a *pet rabbit* community that discourages breeding and encourages rescue.
Community guide
r/Rabbits (#982, about 1.1 million) is a pet-rabbit community for learning, photos and questions—it discourages breeding and encourages rescue, and it is not a wildlife-rehab or rabbit-as-food space.
What belongs
Pet-rabbit care and pictures (about 73 posts/day; images, galleries and text). Rules ban spam, vote-begging, hands-on medical diagnosis requests, wildlife-rehab asks, negligence or misinformation, bathing or back-handling photo posts, rabbits posed with predatory animals, breeder ads or litter help, food references, AI content, seven-day reposts without credit, direct fundraising and untagged NSFW; criticism should stay polite and on-topic.
Versus aww
aww is general cute-animal photos. This room is specifically pet rabbits, with rescue-over-breeding guidance written into the public description.
Practical pointers
Don’t ask the internet to diagnose a sick rabbit or advertise a litter; share pet-care questions and photos instead.
