Wild rabbits are out looking for food early in the morning and at dusk. They come out at these times in order to avoid the hottest part of the day. During the day, they are usually tucked away in their burrow keeping cool. Another reason why they come out early in the morning and at dusk is the amount of light. The dark is just disappearing in the early morning and it’s fading at dusk. This provides a rabbit some protection from predators. Predators may not be out at these times and if they are they won’t be able to spot a bunny as quickly because of the low visibility.
