If you put up a 3' high wire fence (I like the green rectangle wire better than reg. chicken wire) then you won't have to worry about rabbits, or deer, or whatever else. Seems a lot easier to just prevent them than to deal with them afterwards. I put up nice wood verticals every 5 - 6 feet and a vertical top rail (1x4) and just stapled the heavy wire to the inside with galv. staples and a regular hand staple gun, 1/2" staples. I had timbers already on the bottom to screw uprights and tack wire to. Otherwise, you could just bury the wire a foot down to prevent digging under. You could also use the metal stakes they sell with the wire instead of dealing with the wood, but I like the look of wood and a nice wide gate.
