Skulls Unlimited, fine purveyor of real and replica bones, lists domestic cat claws as average 0.5 in / 1.2 cm and bobcat as average 1 in / 2.5 cm.
All I could find on bunnies is that they should be trimmed when they get past the edge of the paw fur. They also seem to be more of a wear item due to the digging, so there is probably a wider range of sizes.
