Every spring we have hundreds of rabbits,this year I don't see any-Thank

rabbits sense that a predator is around?


The rabbits don't move out but the predators move in. Around here,
it's mostly foxes but I've even seen house cats kill baby rabbits.
Other factors like weather, disease and starvation can play a big
part. Unlike human populations, animal populations can vary wildly.
