Rabbit

Rabbits (formerly known as Jackalopes) are small critters that spawn from Rabbit Holes and are one of the easiest ways to obtain Food. They are common critters.. It will not enter any hole other than its own, and when the player walks in its vicinity or tries to attack it, it will attempt to run into said hole. It is faster than the player, which makes chasing it with a sharp object is a fruitless effort. In the new update, killing a single rabbit with many others around will result in the others running away, as to make the game harder. Do however note that, as of the "'Naughty and Nice Patch", killing incapacitated Rabbits is considered an act of naughtiness, and such the Krampus will most likely pay you a visit if you kill too many.

They can be captured with a trap, which you can bait with carrots and berries. Trapping a rabbit guarantees a morsel.

Using a shovel, you can evict them from their holes. In doing so, the hole is removed, and rabbits will no longer spawn there.

On the Graphics card patch, rabbits will fall asleep at night, so evicting a bunch of rabbits when waiting until night can get you a sizeable amount of morsels. Alternatively, you can also get between the rabbits and its hole as long as it is far enough that you don't scare it away you can attack it and kill it before it returns to its hole, as seen in this video.

One of the easiest ways to trap a rabbit is to chase it into its hole and place a trap directly over it. This method uses no bait and is relatively simple to do. In addition, after chasing it into its hole and setting a trap, you can dig up its hole and it will fall directly into the trap.

Another very easy way to hunt for rabbits is by walking around an area with a lot of rabbit holes at night. More often than not the rabbits will be sleeping just outside the hole, making for an easy kill. You can kill them with a torch on hand.

Easy way to hunt a rabbit, whitout naughtiness: During daylight the rabbits leave their hole. Figure out, which hole belongs to the spotted rabbit. When it is far enough away from its hole, stay over the hole, and attack the rabbit. It will run into the directone of its hole... into your hands.

Upon examining a rabbit in the inventory Wilson asks, "Do you like science?"

You can also drop the rabbit on the ground and it will be asleep, just as with a sleep dart, so it can't run.
