Rabbits or bunnies are a type of NPC animal introduced in The Sims: Unleashed and later returned in The Sims 4: Cottage Living.
The Sims: Unleashed[]
In The Sims: Unleashed, rabbits are NPC pests that will eat Sims' carrot plants. Buying windmills and scarecrows can reduce the chances of them appearing however. Sims can also have a cat, which will hunt rabbits.

The Sims 4: Cottage Living[]
In The Sims 4: Cottage Living, wild rabbits are NPC animals can be found naturally in the world of Henford-on-Bagley. Rabbits have lots of socialization options through jokes, chats, and insults; rabbits can also be given gifts and when they're happy can gift back gifts.
Each wild rabbit will have a particular favorite gift that the player must discover by interacting with the rabbit as well as giving it a variety of gifts, making Sims discover gift preferences will reveal their like or dislike of one gift option and will be on cooldown. Players can also name the rabbits whenever they want and rename them under the actions menu.
Gifting to rabbits, like wild birds, has a cooldown so befriending through gifts isn't a fast method; but also, Sims with the Animal Enthusiast trait will have a faster time gaining relationship with wild rabbits. Should a Sim anger and repeatedly be mean to a rabbit, the rabbit will fight with the Sim, and if fought enough times can result in the Sim to die by rabbits.
Locations[]
There are several locations Sims can find wild rabbits within the world of Henford-on-Bagley; tree stumps appear in the neighborhoods of Old New Henford and The Bramblewood around the paths and waterfall, and these tree stumps are what house wild rabbits. Sims must either wait for the rabbits to exit the tree stump in order to interact, or they can try to lure out the rabbits themselves.
While living in these neighborhoods and having farming plots on the lot, wild rabbits can be seen appearing out of holes in the ground and inspecting gardening plots.
Befriended[]

When Sims befriend a wild rabbit, they will unlock the Wild Rabbit Home for purchase of §400. When placed on the lot the household has access to unique rabbits that they can interact with and socialze with, and once befriended, can be asked to help with gardening. When rabbits are helping with gardening; should the crops and plants on the lot grow weeds, the rabbits will eat the weeds. Rabbits can also help gardening by pooping on the plants, their poop will act as a fertilizer for the plants improving their growth. Gardening help can be disabled at any time should the player want to.
Rabbits once befriended can be kept track of within the relationships panel and players can lock onto them to find them automatically.
Sims can offer rabbits clothing by visiting Michael Bell aka the Creature Keeper in The Bramblewood neighborhood. Sims can ask him to craft outfits for bunnies by supplying them with llama or sheep wool, or they can purchase the clothing; like other animal clothing he sells, they are limited in availability and options rotate every day.
Rabbits have a threat in the form of foxes that spawn via the Wild Foxes lot trait, llamas can spit at them to defend the lot. A fox might initiate a "paw" fight, but rabbits can win these fights, in which case they end with the rabbit performing an adorable, triumphant animation.
