More Symbolism..

Remember how I told you about Fiver's special gift of sensing when something bad was going to happen? Well
in the warren of snares, a farmer feeds the rabbits and keeps foxes and other enemies away from the rabbits, but at the same time he sets up traps for them so that he can have a scrumptious dinner a few times a month. Fiver warns his companions not to join the warren, he has no idea about the traps, but he knows that something is not right with the strange warren. When talking to Hazel, his brother, Fiver exclaimed that he wouldn't go into the warren because, "The roof of that hall is made up of bones." This symbolizes death, the deaths of the rabbits that used to live in the warren, but were snared by the farmers trap, the deaths of Fiver's friends if they stayed another day in that hostile warren.
