Laws change according to where you live, so you should always consult your government whenever you want to know what laws apply to you.

In most places, it is legal to keep domesticated rabbits as pets, so long as you take proper care of them. However, in many places, it's illegal to keep wild rabbits as pets unless you're a licensed wildlife rehabber.

Is it legal in Tennessee to kepp wild rabbits?

As far as I know, it is illegal to keep any wildlife animals. This includes birds, anything that is alive in the wild. The reason for this is to keep the wild life population correct. Rabbits also breed a couple times throughout a year and if you catch a wild rabbit, the babies may die without the parent. Even if you find a baby rabbit without the parents you are supposed to contact the TWRA. I work for animal relocation services, for nuisance animals, so I do know people who do keep wild animals as pets but you always take the risk of the animal dying from stress. Hope this helps.

What are the names for the homes of wild rabbits and of pet rabbits?

In the wild, rabbits live in groups of up to ten underground in a burrow. The burrow is part of a chamber of burrows, which is called a warren. There can be up to twenty burrows in a warren. With pet rabbits, it rather depends where you keep them. If the rabbit is outside in a home made from wood then this is called a hutch. However, if you keep the rabbit inside in a smaller house made from plastic/metal this is called a cage.
