Best Answer

Rabbits dig holes and burrows to use as a home, so that foxes and other wild animals can't get to them. They also use them for hibernation in the winter months. If you own a pet rabbit you will find that in the winter they will have made a sort of nest out of their bedding in the colder months. That is their burrow, if you think about it.

They live underground to hide from their predators like hawks and owls. Underground is where they're safest.
