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.
Fun figures

At least your forebears didn't deliberately intoduce the pests!
