Prey is the victim of a predator, biologically whatever something else eats (or in some cases parasitizes, as food for its young). Otherwise stated, prey is a killed organism which is going to be eaten by someone.
The term is used metaphorically to mean people who are targets of other people, physically or otherwise, e.g. older people who become the prey of criminals.

Some examples of predator and prey are lion and zebra, bear and fish, and fox and rabbit. The words "predator" and "prey" are almost always used to mean only animals that eat animals, but the same concept also applies to plants: Bear and berry, rabbit and lettuce, grasshopper and leaf.

Lifespan On average the Dwarf Lop rabbit can live to 5 years or more. Breeding The ideal age for the female Dwarf Lop rabbit to start breeding is between 5 to 6 months of age. The first litter must be born before the female is one year old. The reason for this is that after this age the pelvic bones fuse and she would not be able to give birth naturally. They should have no more litters after the age of three years. Average Litter Size The Dwarf Lop rabbit has on average litters between 3-5, they have been known to produce up to 9. Gestation PeriodThe gestation period is between 28-31 days. On average they give birth at 30-32 days. General Physical Description The Dwarf Lop rabbit is a small, compact rabbit. The ears are long, floppy and delicate. Size The Dwarf Lop rabbit can weigh up to 2.4kgs. Many are small and weigh less than this. Feeding The mainstay of a rabbit's diet should be large unlimited amounts of fresh hay, fresh fruit and vegetables, a well-balanced dry rabbit mix and plenty of clean water. Rabbits have quite delicate stomachs so when feeding fresh fruits and vegetables make sure they are added to the diet one vegetable at a time and eliminate specific varieties if they cause diarrhoea. An earthenware bowl is the best type of feeding dish to use, as they are harder to knock over than the plastic ones, also they not chewable. A water bottle fixed to the outside of the cage, with the water tube going into the cage, ensures a fresh water supply is available. Cage & Bedding For an outdoor rabbit the ideal home is a wooden hutch made of a heavy wood with a waterproof roof, and raised off the ground. If the rabbit is going to live indoors then a wooden hutch can also be used or a cage. The cage would have a plastic or wire base with a wire lid fixed to the base. All rabbits must have an adequate exercise area, whether it is an outside run or an enclosed area in the house. Wood shavings should be used for the floor of the hutch or cage. Fine sawdust can cause eye irritations so this should be avoided. Bedding material should be provided especially in cold and wet weather for the outdoor rabbit. The best thing to use is straw on top of a layer of the wood shavings in the sleeping compartment. The rabbit home should be cleaned out weekly and any old food removed. If it is necessary to wash the home then only use a cleaner specifically designed for cleaning rabbit hutches. An earthenware food bowl and a drinking bottle will also be required to feed and water the rabbit.
