Sure you can. You will have to get your pups accustomed to being out at night. Some pups are nervous and insecure when taken out at night. I would work them with a shock collar and make sure that they would come back at the tone before I took them out at night. There are a lot of varmints wandering around at night. There is a good chance they will cross a deer, fox, or some other varmints track before they cross a rabbit's track.

or a coyote depending on where you live and they love to eat puppies, especially those not running with a pack, I would not advise it unless you are in a coyote free area.
