Yes. You say ''J'ai eu'' when you specify when you had the rabbit (or whatever else you had). You say '' J'avais'' when you don't specify it. So, it means that you had a bunny for a while, but it implies literally that now, you don't have it anymore, whereas with ''J'ai eu'', you may still have the rabbit, but it isn't said.

Is it clear enough?
