Rabbit holes are a fun thing. I keep getting pulled into new topics daily and can't stop won't stop learning
Is there anything special about the soil in a rabbit hole?
I realize you're joking, but... Not the soil itself but them burrowing. The old ones eventually backfill with topsoil, and that helps make the topsoil thicker and less dense in a way, over time as multiple burrows are created. This is part of the reason why gophers are a keystone species on the prairies.
