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.

And when the animal population outgrows its food supply the starvation
causes a big die off. Saw that in the deer population in Texas years
ago. Not enough hunters or food and the deer just starved to death.
