All About Rabbits
If you're looking for books, even videos about rabbits, check out the many titles, for both children and rabbit raisers.

A domestic rabbit, in YOUR cage, has a stress level hovering somewhere near zero, once he becomes familiar with you and your home. If he were out in the wild and left to his devices, he would be terrified for his life, hiding under rocks and burrows, and darting from bush to bush. It's only a matter of time before a hawk or coyote would end its life violently.

So:
1) It's not kind or wise to release a domestic rabbit into the wild. (In some municipalities it is illegal.) They haven't a clue how to stay safe, having been raised in a cage and having had every need provided.

That said, in some climates, feral rabbits thrive, breed, become destructive forces in the environment destroying vegetation, and then become vectors and transmitters of disease and parasites to other domestic and native cottontail rabbit populations.

When the local rabbit population rises, so does the predator population. As coyotes and foxes move in, they'll catch whatever doesn't run fast enough -- whether feral rabbits or your favorite Persian or American Curl cat.

2) Don't feel sorry for caged rabbits. They have it very good. (Remember - they don't think like you do.) Treat your pet rabbits kindly, fill their needs, give it chew toys to keep the teeth short and their attention captured. You can feel confident that their fear levels are minimal and they are happy with you for a friend.
