Can pet rabbits outside burrow under the cage?

It is entirely possible for your bunny to burrow under her cage. The best ways around this are 1. Use a cage and Run with a bottom to it that the rabbit cannot get through 2. Bury chicken wire below the ground to the level of about 2 feet so that even if the bunny does dig down they cannot get beyond the bounds of their enclosure. Even better yet, bring your bunny inside and have them at the centre of your family ;)

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.

In the wild, a burrow for a single rabbit, and family groups live in a series of burrows/tunnels called a warren.

Wild rabbits burrow so they have a hiding place against predators such as hawks, or coyotes. Domestic rabbits live in a cage so they don't need to make a hole. Instead, they want to find out how to use them
