Group of rabbits

[herbie]

Whats the collective name for a group of rabbits ie pride of lions pack of dogs have asked loads of people its now driving me MAD thanks in advance.

[00Jack00]

They are called a herd.
Sound stupid but it is true.

[Totterdown]

OOJackOO, you may be correct but I cannot find that term anywhere. Several references I have looked up refer to a group of rabbits as a nest of rabbits.

[wildwood]

It appears to be one of those things where you can please yourself which you like best.

Colony, nest, wrack, trip, trace, drove, husk, leash, warren, down, bury or herd. Some usually only refer to domesticated or young, but they are all rabbits.

As wildwood says its a take your pick situation but I've always found this site pretty usefull for this sort of thing

Agree Mr Veritas. And according to another I have just discovered, all yours plus those already mentioned (flick, kindle, nest, wrack) are also correct. Wonder why there are so many collective names for rabbits.

[Mr Veritas]

Hi Totterdown,
Maybe as rabbits breed (Well.like rabbits) there has to be many names for them?
LOL

'target practice'

[wolf63]

But what do the bunny rabbits call their group?

[mrs_overall]

I always thought it was a "stew" of rabbits

[BeatySwalls]

first its 'target practice' and then its 'stew'

[Totterdown]

Sweat, why do you always have to spoil things?

[BeatySwalls]

hey totter come on I was only joking,

[zzxxee]

and a baby rabbit is called a kitten so im guessing its the same name for a group of cats

[wolf63]

a group of cats = a major punch up
