Rodents and rabbits, what's the difference?
In the classification system, rabbits are not rodents, but hares. It is therefore technically incorrect to refer to rabbits as rodents.
Incidentally, rabbits are not hares either, although we often say dwarf hare in colloquial language.
Hares are nest fledglings (the young are born with fur and open eyes), rabbits are nest hoppers (they are born naked and their eyes only open after about 10 days). Rabbits also have much larger ears and stronger hind legs.
