warrens
Underground rabbit colonies
Warrens are networks of interconnected underground tunnels where rabbits live and breed.
The word extends to any crowded, maze-like space with narrow passages: a warren of back alleys, the warren of cubicles in the basement office.
A single such structure is a warren.
