“It is not as edible as it looks.”

–Wendy

Rabbit Hutches are naturally spawning objects and craftable structures. They will spawn a lone Bunnyman, which will respawn from hutch after 1 day if killed. Rabbit Hutches only spawn naturally in Caves. It is possible for the houses to spawn individually, in small randomly spaced groups, or in a large circle around a patch of grass and a Pitchfork. Although they look like carrots, several characters comment that they are not, though it takes Carrots to craft them.

Rabbit Hutches require 4 Boards, 10 Carrots, and 4 Bunny Puffs to craft and an Alchemy Engine to prototype.

Like Pig Houses, all Rabbit Hutches, whether made by the player or naturally spawned, can be destroyed with a Hammer or Deconstruction Staff to gain 50% to 100% of the materials required to make it, respectively.

Behaviour

The characteristics of a Rabbit Hutch are believed to be similar to a Pig House, except that it spawns a Bunnyman after a day instead of a Pig after four days. In the overworld, Bunnymen will only come out of their houses at dusk. They go home during the day, so having Pig Houses and Rabbit Hutches close to each other might not be a big problem unless there's a Full Moon and the Pigs become Werepigs.

Tips

• Both Spiders and Bunnymen come out during dusk, so a few hutches placed along with a Spider Den creates a Spider farm. Walling in the area is ideal (to keep the Spiders from roaming into one's camp and ensure they fight each other). Since Bunnymen are vegetarians, they won't eat the Monster Meat like Pigs do. The player can just walk by in the morning/every few days and collect the loot.
• If the player decides to build Rabbit Hutches, it's recommended to place them a decent distance from the camp, so if the player is carrying meat items, a wandering Bunnyman will be too far to notice and become aggressive.
• Rabbit Hutches can be deconstructed for resources if the player is desperate for Boards, Bunny Puffs, or Carrots.
