Rabbit populations tend to be cyclical -- going in a series of booms and busts. When they get in high enough numbers, predators and/or disease start thriving, knocking their numbers way down.

We have so many around our house, my son has to be careful when he mows the lawn. The little buggers are so bold, they won't move until we are right next to them.
