    		Originally, an adult rabbit was a coney and a young coney was a rabbit. But just as you can only find mutton in the ingredients of tinned Irish Stew (all the sheep at the butcher's is called lamb), coney became rabbit. it should never be called a leveret which is the young of the hare.

    SJ and Miffy are correct that 'kit' is what a young 'rabbit' is often referred to as.

    Bunny is just a child's name for the animal, no matter what age (origins oddly enough are in Scots Gaelic 'bun' for a rabbit's tail).
