The adjective is a straightforward formation from the noun 'rabbit' plus the productive adjectival suffix '-sized', meaning 'about the size of a rabbit'.

Etymology

Rabbit-sized comes from the animal rabbit and the ending -sized, which means 'having the size of', just like in child-sized. So rabbit-sized means 'about the same size as a rabbit'.
