Not usually.
Domestic rabbits generally don\'t have the survival instinct as hard-wired as do the native species. Also, the coloration of many of our domestic breeds is not condusive to camoflage, which is a big factor in the wild rabbit being able to avoid becoming prey.
Now, there is a semi-feral rabbit that has been hanging around my place and has done so for over a year, BUT...she is keeping close to my home and so the chance of being preyed upon isn\'t nearly as great than if she were truly in a wild setting.
