If you are talking about an outside cage of the wooden hutch variety, stand every leg in a gallon coffee container (plastic now although they used to be cans) and put 2 inches of sheep dip or creosote in the container.(An old Navajo man told me this and after I told my 4-Hers they never lost another bunny to snakes.) The fumes hurt the snakes sensitive 'smell' detector and they will leave. Fumes will not hurt rabbits because they are in the fresh air. now all you have to worry about is snakes dropping down from the trees.

How do you insulate a rabbit cage?
In the winter put a huge heavy cloth over the whole rabbit cage. This will keep the rabbits body temperature in there. Also shredded newspaper can make your rabbit warm. Avoid putting a hot object like a light bulb in there, it will make the rabbit More cautious.
How often do you need to let a bunny out of their cage?
Well every day it should stay in its cage for about a couple of hours, but about 6 hours or more for sleeping unless you make a bed or sleep with it. But you shouldn't keep it in a cage for a really long time because it needs more space and fresh air, as well as company unless you have another rabbit.
Can a bunny stay in a cage all day long?
Rabbits live in cages because they can get into a lot of trouble out in the room. For example:They can bite into an electrical wire and get electrocutedThey could climb up on something unstable, fall down and break a boneThey could eat a house plant and get poisonedThey could get attacked by a pet dogThey could eat some carpeting and get a blockage in their digestionand more!Another reason is that rabbits tend to be nervous animals. Your rabbit's cage should be a secure, comfortable place where the rabbit knows she's safe. Without a secure home, a rabbit can suffer from anxiety, which can lead to behavioural and health problems.Rabbits don't live in cages 24/7: they need out every day to exercise, play, socialize, etc. If you have a pet rabbit, you need to "rabbit-proof" whatever areas they're allowed into. This means making these spaces safe.Some people do such a good job of rabbit-proofing that their rabbits don't live in cages at all. This can take a lot of time and effort, though, so most people put their rabbits in a cage when they're not there to supervise.See the related questions below for more information and for helpful links!
How long can the rabbits be left alone if somebody just visits them everyday for food and water?
If it is a baby rabbit (under 4 years) you should keep it inside at all times. But if it is over 4 years only keep it inside if it is raining or snowing. Keeping it the garage is only good if it has a light AND a heater. House rabbit - If the rabbit has been in a house when it was born, this is called a house rabbit, if you get it from a friend or the pet shop they will tell you this. In ALL cases the rabbit should be kept inside. Make sure it has a suitable cage that the pet can run in and out from. Only let the rabbit out for runs in the garden. House rabbits need : water, grain, carrots, veg, sawdust and of course, a cage (not a hut) I don't think this (previous) answered your question. A 'BABY' rabbit is UNDER 6 months of age!!!! A rabbit meets sexual maturity at six months. A four year old rabbit is rapidly reaching 'old age'. Rabbits will do quite well if left alone with only daily visits for food and water and weekly visits to clean cages, IF there is more than one rabbit in your rabbitry. Each needs their own cage but they do need a neighbor for company. You won't be able to stay away however because they are so cute and interesting you will be wanting to visit, hold and watch them all the time. Also, on the house rabbit info, any rabbit you bring into your house (young preferably) can become a house rabbit. Rabbits are very territorial and will 'housebreak' themselves rather quickly. They need a cage for their potty an d to lock them in when no one is home, (This is for their protection) they need water, pellets, an occasional treat such as carrot, dry bread or cheerios and a cage with potty that either has sand or sawdust. (do not use kitty litter, some rabbits will eat it and some kitty litters can be toxic.)

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).
