The factor that limits the carrying capacity of a rabbit colony’s ecosystem is **increase in predators**.
While food, space, and mates can have various effects on the population, the increase in predators poses a direct threat to rabbit survival, thereby limiting the maximum population size that the ecosystem can sustain.
