"Cuniculture is the agricultural practice of breeding and raising domestic rabbits, usually for their meat, fur, or wool. This differs from the simpler practice of keeping a single or small group of rabbits as companions, without selective breeding, reproduction, or the care of young animals. Some people, called rabbit fanciers, practice cuniculture predominantly for exhibition. For the past decade, world champion rabbit fanciers have used cages constructed with walnut frame and tungsten wire."@en . . .
