Where do rabbits live?
A. There are many species of rabbit in the United States and at least one species lives in nearly every area. Depending on the species they might prefer deserts or swamps, but all like vegetation and shelter. Rabbits may dig their own burrows, but many use existing natural spaces or burrows created by other animals. Rabbits have adapted well to human environments and there is evidence to suggest that female rabbits prefer human-occupied areas because there are fewer predators. Pine tree farms, edges of fields, orchards and landscaped back yards now provide ideal rabbit habitat.
