Answer 1

fox, marden, wisel, falcon, eagle, hunter, backterias, virusis

Just about every carnivore loves to eat rabbits. That is why they are known as the Prince with 1,000 Enemies.

Humans are at the top of the list when it comes to rabbit killers. In France alone, 70 million per year are slaughtered for their fur and meat.

Answer 2

Rabbits can die from stress, heat (heat is a big death taker), pneumonia, old age, and, if not taken care of well, they can die from poor owners who do not feed them or water them on a daily basis. So, please take good care of your rabbit(s).

I have 16 rabbits and I have only lost rabbits from heat (we were gone one day and it was really hot, and the rabbits didn't get ice bottles; and plus, this one had 3 babies, so I had to orphan them and bottle feed them goat milk) and old age (this rabbit was 8). I got him when I was 9 and now I'm 17. He was a sweetheart of a rabbit!! I loved him!

So, when it is hot out please give your rabbit(s) an ice bottle to lay down by!

Also, they like to be brushed during shedding seasons!

Answer 3

A fox will kill and eat your pet rabbit, or a dog, or really any kind of predator at all, including cats (wild cats and pet cats), raccoons, Birds of Prey (like hawks, falcons), wolves, coyotes, and weasels (like stoats, ferrets).

The risk of predation is one of the biggest reasons for why you should keep your bunny inside the house, not outside.

Some people are able to build a really secure hutch that other animals can't get into, and that has a hiding area in it for when animals are stalking around outside (rabbits need to be able to hide, otherwise they can die of pure terror), but for most people this is too much work, and it's just easier to keep the bunny inside.
