Domestic rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus), much like the wild European rabbits they descend from, are highly social and often do best when living in at least a pair. In larger groups, it is possible that a more pronounced social hierarchy could be established, as suggested by anecdotes from a rabbit sanctuary. There are also some observational reports on laboratory-housed rabbits that showed that rabbits often seek out body contact with conspecifics when given the opportunity.
