What is the significance of rabbits making houses in rocks?

1.

Rashi (31): This refers to Madai u'Faras. They built (authorized Yisrael to build) the Beis ha'Mikdash.

2.

Malbim (Derech ha'Muskal): They are not mighty. Even though they find refuge from their enemies in tunnels of earth and tops of date trees, Hashem put in their nature to build houses in strong rocks. This is for us to learn to build Beis ha'Nefesh in stone fortresses - Sechel and its powers, and not in the power of imagination, which has no substance; it is full of folly and doubts. Chachmah is built on strong rocks and fortresses of the Sechel - the opposite of a slave ruling (22).
