Idyllic Warren?
When the rabbits happen upon Cowslip's warren, everything seems perfect-plenty of good food to eat, no dangerous animals to evade. Fiver is the only one who is afraid and senses something terrible about the place and its inhabitants. Why are the others, including Hazel, so quick to believe that it is truly as idyllic as it seems?

I think they are willing to believe that warren really is perfect for many reasons. Hazel thinks they got away from the 'bad thing.' This makes him ready to believe that any warren is a safe warren. The others think it's perfect because Hazel thinks so and Hazel's their Chief Rabbit. Fiver was acting like a loner, so nobody wanted to listen to anything he said, even though he was the only one who knew Cowslip's warren was dangerous. Bigwig didn't want to listen to Fiver because he thought that Fiver thought he was better than everyone else. Nobody wanted to go against what Bigwig says because he's huge and could easily brake the neck of anyone who opposed him. All in all, the rabbits weren't ready to believe they came to a dangerous warren so they didn't.
I think they are quick to believe because they have just ran for miles from a 'bad thing'. They are frightened and tired, and don't want to believe anything bad could happen.
I think they are willing to believe that the warren is perfect because they just ran away from the "bad thing" They just got scared and are not willing to believe that Cowslip's warren is a bad warren.
