Where did you find that Jamie ?
All I could find it sounds like there pet rabbits either escaped or released and have multiplied ,,,
Don't pet rabbits make burrows,,,cos pet rabbits are all same species as wild
Was reading that they mostly live above ground In the shrubs , probz due to lack of predators . We used to ferret a school the rabbits had little fear of humans holes were probs just for breading , we had to heard the rabbits into the holes prior to ferreting ? they just sat there looking at you ,
