I'm isouth of Charlotte NC, in the country.  We had 2 rabbits that I would catch on the outdoor camera eating grass in the yard. Once the camera caught them in a mating dance. 

 

Haven't seen them in quite a while. My neighbor has been feeding a feral cat so I wonder if that has to do w/the fact that they are missing. My other neighbor absolutely hates the rabbits.....says they do damage to her property.

I know we have rabbits because they leave their *calling cards on the driveway strips.  They'll be these little pyramid shaped stacks, reminds me of how they used to stack cannonballs during the Revolutionary war.Woman LOL

I had rabbits all last Summer, they would hop right through my garden and never offered to bother it, but they sure ate the birdseed from the little piles I put around for the birds! 😂

@raspberrygal  The rabbits in my neck of the woods, stay inside burrows all winter.  Only come out to eat or take the food back inside their burrows.

Love this picture. We have rabbits in the summer but I never see them in the winter...

 

I always thought they hibernated....

I have bunnies all year. I've had them nest on my lawn

  They dig a deep hole and have had several bunnies born.  Unfortunately it's not a safe place...my lab kept picking up the babies out of hole...but I put them back.

Haven't seen a nest on the lawn lately  but lots of poop all over my entire 5 areas. I love seeing them here.

My bunnies definitely are not hibernating. They're eating my dormant rose bush canes all the way down to the ground, thorns and all. Probably a meal of last resort because the ground here by Lake Erie has been covered in snow and ice since mid November. Deer and rabbits eating anything and everything.

I make a fruit salad just about every night. So I put slices of apples, pears and grapes out for the rabbit that appears in our backyard. We used to have Mom and one baby but now I only see one rabbit.

 

I like to see the rabbit tracks in the snow. So I know the rabbit is still around. Or should I say the rabbit had been around.A few days ago I saw larger paw prints in the yard. I wonder if it is a fox. 

Still put fruit out, I hope the rabbit is the one eating it.
