Compact, commercial, semi-arch, full-arch, and cylindrical are the five body types of show rabbits in the ARBA. The commercial category includes the most breeds. These breeds tend to be large breeds used for fur or meat. Compact is the second largest category; these breeds tend to be small and popular as pets. Full-arch is the third largest group; these breeds are fine boned and very hare-like. This is followed by the semi-arch group. These breeds have an arch that starts further down the body than the full-arch group. The smallest group is obviously the cylindrical, as it only houses one breed - the Himalayan. The Himalayan is long in body and doesn't really have any arch. Difficulty: Hard.

One is full of vitamins and proteins which the rabbit then re-consumes until all the essential goodness has been absorbed. Difficulty: Easy.

But of course it depends on how well you take care of your rabbit. If you forget to feed it a lot, and if you only feed it pellets and don't give it any hay, your rabbit will probably not live as long as someone who is consistent about feeding their rabbit. You also need to make sure you are brushing your rabbit frequently because when a rabbit licks itself clean, it will lick up all of the loose hair and then it will get into their systems, and that is not good for your rabbit. Difficulty: Easy.

Rabbits actually have two sets of incisors. These are located one behind the other. Initially rabbits were grouped in the order Glires, and in the same family as rodents. Later scientists placed them into a separate category from the rodents. However now they have been classed under the major order of Glires again - but in a separate branch to that of rodents. They're a little like distant cousins in fact. Rodents are Glires-Rodentia and rabbits are Glires-Lagomorpha. Difficulty: Hard.

Rabbits have very powerful hind legs and use these to thump hard on the ground. This sends vibrations and echoes to the other rabbits nearby that a predator is approaching. They also have a wide and excellent range of vision to enable them to constantly scan their surroundings for danger. They attempt to escape predators by darting from side to side, and are capable, depending on the size of the animal that catches it, of delivering strong kicks from those same hind legs to break free. Their teeth can also inflict sharp nips as well. Difficulty: Average.

The Rex and mini Rex have "Rex" fur. Rex fur is short, velvety, and resistant to the touch. "Normal" fur can be further classified into 3 types. Roll back, fly back, and standing.

Standing fur is unique to the silver fox breed, and doesn't go back to its original position. Difficulty: Hard.
