Does The Fox Eat Rabbits?

I know that they eat mice but will the fox also eat a rabbit? Is it a part of their diet? I haven't seen any of the numerous rabbits that I'm used to seeing.

    Yes. The fox loves to eat rabbits, bugs, fish etc. However, a small fox might be frightened to eat a big rabbit but still foxes love to eat rabbits.

        I volunteer at a wildlife refuge and yes the red fox love mice. We feed them pinkies(new born mice) which come frozen for our wildlife.

        Fox´s have relatively small stomachs for their size. So, a red fox can eat only about half as much food in relation to it´s body weight as wolves and dogs can. So in the wild if they found part of a rabbit they might, but I doubt they are the reason for the lack of rabbits you mention.

        Yes, if you have a very large rabbit and a small fox this might stop the fox but yes foxes love to eat rabbits
