Where to Find Them on Your Property?

You will find rabbits in places that are quiet, or safe and enclosed. You can also find rabbits in places like gardens, or hiding in large trees and bushes. Other things that may attract rabbits to your area might include flowers, fresh soiled plants, and vegetables. Rabbits tend to build their nests undercover and out of harms way, so sometimes they may be hard to spot right away.
