For raising rabbits, a greenhouse is more suitable as it can provide shade, shelter from rain, ventilation, and warmth.In areas with vast grasslands, wild rabbits tend to choose sparse vegetation areas to build their nests, such as on the prairie. In areas without grass, they will try to find places with grass to nest, even if it's just a clump of grass—they will nest right under that clump. A typical example is in deserts, where wild rabbits are more easily found in places with grass.

During hot summers, wild rabbits choose to hide in shaded ditches or embankments, often not sticking to a fixed hiding spot; they may change locations after a night or two.

In colder winters, wild rabbits opt for sunny, grassy ridges or embankments to hide. As long as the withered grass in their hiding place remains intact, they will use it for a relatively long time. In the even colder northern regions with sandy soil, wild rabbits dig burrows in dry and concealed spots to hide, staying there for at least the entire winter.

During spring, summer, and autumn, when the climate is warmer, the fields are filled with green grass and tender crops. Wild rabbits have no shortage of food, nest and give birth more casually, and generally move around frequently.
