Can rabbits see in the dark?

Operation 'Rabbits in the Garage' has just been completed :D.

I was just wondering whether I should keep the light on for them in the garage??

I know rabbits can see in the dark - but in the pitch black?

In the garden they used to have starlight/moonlight and street lights - so I doubt very much it was pitch black - however the garage is literally pitch black.

Thanks to anyone who can shed some light on to the matter!! :lol:
 
Generally they are most active at dawn & dusk,they often sleep in their underground burrow in the darkness of the night,as foxes,badgers,Stoats,etc can see well a night & these animals hunt rabbits. So yes where your rabbits are now is fine,as long as they gets some light in the day
 
Thank you for your reply!

We've put a hole in the side of the garage and they have a big giant tube from their hutch to their two runs in the garden which they have access to 24hrs a day - I'm mostly concerned about them being able to move around their hutch safely and comfortably?
For example will they be able to see the ramp and litter trays - don't want them walking into anything for hurting themselves or not finding their food.
