Eating rabbit is not allowed according to authentic Hadeeths from the Prophet (SAWA) and Ahlul Bayt (AS) while some Muslims eat rabbit.

Traveler is not only exempted from fasting but he can not fast during the Month of Ramadan. Despite this exemption, eating and drinking in public during the day of month of Ramadan must be avoided. It can be forbidden (Haraam) if it amounts to violating the sanctity of the month of Ramadan or making people disrespect the obligation of fasting during this month or encouraging any one not to fast.
