Rabbits are basically categorized into two – the domesticated rabbits and the wild ones. Evidently, the domesticated rabbits are those that are being raised by humans as pets and the wild ones are those that live in the forest or stay in the wild. Rabbits that fall in these two categories are actually similar but as you have noticed, domesticated rabbits usually live in a rabbit hutch where they are provided with everything that they need from their foods to their toys. This is where they basically create their own family and eventually die. On the other hand, things are completely different for the rabbits that live in the wild. The place where wild rabbits live or their habitat for instance already sets a big difference from the domesticated ones.

Wild rabbits can actually live in several types of habitats like the forests, meadows, grasslands, thickets, etc. and they can be found in a lot of places all over the world. Most of the time, wild rabbits can be found in a place with a moderate climate, in North America for instance. Wild rabbits basically live in groups and unlike the domesticated ones. They are not also fed by humans or taken care of by humans. They create their own homes by digging and feed themselves with what they can find in their habitat. They usually eat different types of plants and vegetables. Normally, they make their homes in a place that is near to the source of their food. In other words, they live on their – without any aid from humans. This is not really so bad because rabbits are supposed to be out there in wild. Besides, they know how protect themselves against the predators and they know how where to find their foods.

Their home is known to be as the warren which is actually an underground home and the female rabbits usually do most of the digging to create it. Inside the warren, there are a lot of rooms which are called as burrows. Each of these rooms is then linked by narrow tunnels which make the warren similar to a maze. This is why you normally see a rabbit pop out from the ground in the televisions – they really live underground. Living underground will also help them to protect and hide themselves from bigger animals who consider them as preys. Because they are not the only ones who are living the wild, they have to find some ways to prevent themselves from being eaten.

There is nothing wrong with raising rabbits and having them domesticated especially if you will really take care of them properly. You can give them with all that they need – shelter, foods, toys and other things. But of course, it is still best if they are left on where they should be -in the wild. Out in the wild is still the best place for the rabbits to live and spend the rest of their lives rather than inside the cages.
