I live in a small city in the US, where it’s grass everywhere. There’s lots of rabbits, but why aren’t there more? They eat grass, and there’s clearly more grass than they can eat at their current population size. There’s no significant predators to speak of, I don’t think. They breed legendarily quickly, there’s even an expression about it. So if food isn’t a constraint, predators aren’t a constraint, what is the constraint? I would think they should just increase population until we don’t have to cut our grass anymore.

I live in a medium sized city in the US. The neighborhood I grew up in, for 20+ years I never saw a rabbit. Just 3 minutes down the road, my new neighborhood, rabbits EVERYWHERE, always. It just depends on where they make their habitat. They are also nocturnal, small, and fast, so you may not see them often.
