Rabbits have many predators, including:

  • Cats - e.g. pet cats, lions, lynx, bobcats, mountain lions, tigers
  • Dogs - e.g. pet dogs, wolves, foxes, coyotes
  • Large birds, Birds of Prey - e.g. hawks, owls, eagles, falcons, kestrels
  • Weasels - e.g. stoats, mink, ferrets, wolverines, badgers
  • Bears
  • Racoons
  • Snakes
  • Humans
  • and probably any carnivore or wild animal that's hungry and can fit the rabbit in its mouth

If you have a pet rabbit, especially if you live near a park or lots of trees, or if there are foxes or racoons around your house, it's widely recommended that you keep it inside or have a secured cage or secure wooden or sturdy pastil cage outside that it can sleep in at night so that those predators don't get to them. However, rabbits can also die from shock or heart attack just because a predator is stalking around outside the hutch - to really protect your rabbit, you should let the rabbit escape and hide, like into a private box in the hutch. Keep a close eye on your rabbit while it is out.

Almost everything is a rabbit's predator. Rabbits are a food supply for lots of animals, henceforth the fast reproduction of rabbits to replenish their numbers.

And, from the lighter side: Let's not forget Elmer Fudd!

Lion, bear, or a big animals are can eat rabbits.
Rabbits (aka bunnies) are the classic prey animal: basically, wherever rabbits live, the natural predators in that area will hunt and eat them -- i.e. anything that has sharp teeth, any carnivore, anything bigger than them, etc.

Wild and domestic predators will eat pet rabbits if they are not kept where the predators can't get to them.

Some examples include:

  • Weasels, like stoats, minks, ferrets, wolverines, badgers
  • Dogs, like wolves, foxes, coyotes, hyenas, pet dogs
  • Cats, large cats like panthers, mountain lions (cougars), jaguar, leopard, bobcats, tigers, lions; also pet cats
  • Birds of prey, like eagles, owls, hawks, falcons
  • Snakes, like king cobras
  • Raccoons
  • Bears
  • Some spiders
  • People

From the lighter side: Elmer Fudd likes to eat rabbits..Hence he was always chasing bugs bunny.
Any carnivore that can catch it will soon have a feast.

Python snakes included.

Cats do not differ between rabbit kittens and its normal prey.

In most cases, rabbit kittens are easy for a cat to get hold of. Much more easy than mice.

Foxes eat rabbits.

Larger Cats and Wolves would seem to prefer larger prey, but if hungry, the rabbit is in for a run for its life.

Even humans (a lot of them) eat rabbits. Hawks, owls, coyotes, foxes, bears, racoons, snakes, and about any other predator larger than itself.

It depends where you live, which animals eat rabbits.
Foxes, Cats, Birds of prey.
Birds of Prey, Canines, Cats, Mustelids, Man.
