Yep, I do think that I read that it was a live rabbit and they filmed him amidst a miniature scale set.

Interview with Janet Leigh:
DF: Did you have a sense at the time which pictures would becomeclassics and which ones would become real cornerstones in your career?
JL: Believe me, every time I did a script or a picture, I did itas though it was the best picture in the world. That's the only way todo it. I don't know how to do it any other way. Even with bad picturesI did that. I didn't say at the beginning, "This is a piece of you knowwhat and I'm not even going to try." In all honesty, I made a badpicture in the 1970s called NIGHT OF THE LEPUS, and I certainly didn'tapproach that picture that way.
DF: NIGHT OF LEPUS is a real sci-fi classic, though. Lots of people really love that movie.
JL: It's a cult picture now which is funny to me. You know, itwas the scifi time in the 1970s. It was the time of animals andexperiments and mad scientists and this script came and it read reallygreat and I liked it. I read it and I was scared and it made sense tome. So, I said yes (to making NIGHT OF THE LEPUS). And, I don't care ifthe rabbit is six feet tall, the rabbit is still Peter Rabbit. When yousee those rabbits on the screen you think, "Oh, it's a cute bunnyrabbit." And afterwards it was sheer disaster, I thought. I've actuallyhad someone come to me to make a sequel to NIGHT OF THE LEPUS and Iturned it down.
DF: I can't blame them for wanting to do that at all. It's a cult picture that's really loved.
JL: That is so strange to me. I turned it down. I said, "No, I'msorry. I'm past that now." But I gave (NIGHT OF THE LEPUS) my allbecause that's our job. You certainly know going onto some picturesthat the film isn't going to win an Academy Award.
"Dammit, Jim, I'm a doctor, not a soldier... but that ain't gonna stop me from kickin' some bunny tail!!"
