Welcome to the Rabbit Club Wild Rabbits Page!
Here at the Rabbit Club, we love everything about rabbits!
Wild rabbits and feral rabbits are not the same. Wild rabbits have always lived in the wild, while feral rabbits are domesticated rabbits that have reverted to a wild state. Feral rabbits are not a distinct species; they are domestic rabbits living in the wild.
