What is your alls opinion about turning some rabbits out into the wild. these are half wild rabbit. come from a training facility.

I'd say the coyotes, owls, hawks etc. will get to enjoy them more than you will.

If there is good habitat the rabbits will be there already. If not the new rabbits won't last long. However, if those are native cottontails, even though they have been in an inclosure they will have the instincts required to survive.

Well I do have a good habitat for them, but I do have a lot of cyotes. and I don't want to feed them. I am just trying to preserve my game. I am knocking trees and planting thorn patches for the rabbits. So I am trying to save them from the scavengers.
