That could very well be, I haven’t ever paid much attention to rabbit holes (truth be told).

Maybe rabbits never have two entrances to their nest. That is, once they dig down, they don't dig back up on the other side instinctively. I don't think I've ever seen a two hole burrow on the farm for anything. I’ve got an idea. Maybe rabbits never have two entrances to their nest.

Nothing converts feed into meat better they say. Gilbert I was waiting for someone to ask that, its not a silly question at all. I can't remember for sure but I think they fence went underground a few feet. It still seems like they could have burrowed under if they really wanted to. It was safe from predators and had lots of free and easy food...mabye they didn't want to leave. This was the only time I ever saw rabbits raised this way, but it seemed to work for them. Hi Ginny

We are planning on getting our first farm animals soon (chickens) and I have also been thinking of rabbits. We don't have a lot of room and I thought chickens and rabbits would be good for a couple of acres. Thanks for this post. :-D That is interesting.

When they were fryer size they would be coming up with mom and eating so we'd give them some feed and catch them with a fish net. A real sport that was! The fast ones became breeding stock :) They would have the babies down in the holes.
