Small creature like rabbit in allotment (5)
I believe the answer is:
share
'rabbit in allotment' is the definition.
'share' can be an answer for 'allotment' (share is a kind of allotment). I am not sure about the 'rabbit in' bit.
'small creature' is the wordplay.
'small' becomes 's' (abbreviation - e.g. clothes size).
'creature' becomes 'hare' (type of animal).
's'+'hare'='SHARE'
'like' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for share that I've seen before include "Give portion to others" , "Part, portion" , "Allotted portion" , "Division" , "Contribution; portion" .)
