As someone who dealt with a rabbit infestation, there is no natural equilibrium.

  Can you provide more context on this? I have so many questions It probably wasn't a funny experience for you, but this made me laugh.

    Infestation is a strong term. It seems like every few years there's a combination of factors that somehow create a bumper crop of bunnies in my yard. We'll go from normally seeing a few early morning or evening to having 4-5 bunnies hopping around all the time. Which is pretty cool, all things considered as long as you treat your property for ticks and whatnot. By the next year, though, it'd be back to just a few bunnies. Maybe there's not nearly enough food to support the extra bunnies through the winter. I saw a bald eagle over my house for the first time the other day (NE US). I wonder if the bunny situation will change with more predators.

  There is. Just not with your rabbit alone. The equilibrium evolves at the ecosystem level. In the wilderness it's predators. For your case, you are "dealing" with the rabbit infestation, therefore YOU are the one that's going to be applying pressure. YOU are part of the system.
