That's where you are wrong. The number of rabbits is potentially unlimited.
The numbers can only be kept in check by death and in practice that's how it
happens. Death by lack of food, disease or predators. Lacking these
exclude them so that these problems remain outside your domain.


Which is exactly what's happening around here. -- Where the environment is
city, no predators to speak of and I'm surrounded by city people who think
they're cute.
