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.

Where do lionhead rabbits live?
No they are not. Lionhead rabbits are domestic rabbits with a mane gene. The mane gene is dominant so any rabbit that is bred to another that has a mane has a 50% chance of getting a mane. Since domestic rabbits can not mate with wild rabbits (in the US) you will not see Lionheads in the wild, unless someone dumped them there.
Where can you buy wild rabbits for sale in PA?
You can't buy wild rabbits for sale, only pet rabbits. Wild rabbits, like all wild animals, should be left alone and not domesticated, or caught and sold. It's one thing to hunt wild rabbits, and then sell their body or products (meat, fur), but you shouldn't catch and sell wild rabbits as live animals: there are enough pet rabbits to go around (in fact, in many places, there are too many -- overpopulation).
What do you do with rabbits you can't find homes for?
Pet Rabbits. Pet rabbits that you can't find homes for can be taken to the local humane society in some areas. Other options are news paper ads or craig's list. Screening is critical if you are concerned about what happens to the rabbit in it's new home. Do NOT turn rabbits loose into the wild or in residential areas. In many places this is illegal. It is illegal because it is cruel to the rabbit and rabbits may reproduce at rates to become a nuisance, when predators are scarce. Also, domestic rabbits, being decendants of the European wild rabbit, burrow underground and can destroy lawns with their tunnels. They can also eat ornamental shrubs and flowers, destroying landscaping.
How long do Satin rabbits live in the wild?
Pet rabbits, including Satins, don't live very long in the wild: a couple of years at most, and they don't live happy or healthy lives. Pet rabbits have lost many of their instincts, so they don't know how to find good food, make good homes, or escape predators. Pet rabbits also aren't adapted to their environment, so the right kind of food and shelter may not even be available, and they can't survive harsh weather. If you have rabbits you can't care for anymore, take them to a shelter or rescue organisation: don't "release" them into the wild. If you keep rabbits outside or ever take them outside, make sure they can't escape.
Do domestic rabbits live longer than wild rabbits?
Yes. Pet rabbits usually live 8-12 years. Wild rabbits usually die before the age of 2 because they have so many predators.
Do wild baby cottontail rabbits grow slower as a pet and faster in the wild?

What is the difference between a wild animal or a pet animal?
A pet is domesticated and are raised to live with humans. However, a wild fox isn't accustomed to living with people and also live by their instincts. Assuming that you are raising a fox, I suppose the difference would be if it could be train or if it could be kept inside. However, if you picked it up from the wilderness, then yeah, it's a wild fox. Correct me if I'm wrong dear.
How long do male rabbits live?
Male pet rabbits live as long as female pet rabbits: 10 to 12 years or more. Wild rabbits have a shorter lifespan, because predators catch and eat them; they live about 2 years (males and females).
