Rabbit Habitat

Most cottontails prefer the open country with areas of low lying brush and shrubs, or fields with tall grasses and thickets, even piles of brush and branches. They will also build a nest near streams although they are not given to go into water on purpose. The cottontails’ cousin in Europe will actually build a maze of tunnels, called a warren, which is a behavior that North American rabbits to not do. Cottontails will simply build or dig a hole big enough for the rabbit to hide itself, which is called a form. They dig their form to hide from danger, provide shelter, and raise their young.
