Raccoons rarely hunt small animals and are probably not fast enough to catch an adult rabbit. However, they might eat baby rabbits or sick ones if given the chance.
Raccoons are carnivores and if a raccoon catches a rabbit, the raccoon will eat the rabbit.

Adult rabbits are a bit too fast fir a raccoon to catch. However, nesting baby rabbits are easy prey for a raccoon.
