Insects are not a part of the rabbit diet. Possibly, as it grazes, a wild rabbit might accidentally chew a worm, but if so the rabbit would probably try to spit it out. Rabbits are herbivores and can't digest animal products; pet rabbits should be fed a vegan diet. See the related question below for more info about a rabbit diet.

∙ 12y agoRabbits get worms and other parasitic infections from their environment -- sometimes from eating contaminated grass or other vegetation, and sometimes from an insect (like a fly) laying its eggs directly on the rabbit.
If you notice that your rabbit has worms, you should bring it to a special "rabbit-savvy" vet for an examination: some parasites are relatively harmless, but others are life-threatening, so you should find out which is affecting your rabbit immediately.
You can prevent parasitic infections by keeping your rabbit indoors and not feeding it fresh grass. If you keep your rabbit outdoors, speak to your vet about ways to prevent infections and/or manage parasites around your rabbit.

How do you make a food web with snake grass rabbit and leopard?
At the bottom would be the grass, and above it would be the rabbit. An arrow would point from the grass to the rabbit, showing that the rabbit eats the grass. Then the snake and leopard would be above the rabbit, and there would be two arrows pointing away from the rabbit (one toward the snake and one toward the leopard). This shows that the snake and the leopard eat the rabbit. There could also be an arrow pointing from the snake to the leopard (although it is rare for leopards to actually eat snakes, they do have a varied diet and would eat a snake).
