Brain gine: what is a baby rabbit called?

[LadyMuck]

Baby sheep = lamb, baby rabbit = ?

Can't spell either today...

I always thought it was a bunny.

Too much Beatrix Potter in childhood, obviously.

It's a kit

I only know this as DD has a M&S jigsaw where you match animals and babies. The names of each are on side of box!

It says kitten in this list I posted too, but Kit on the jigsaw and in the animal book we have. Iguess kit is just a shortened version anyway though.
