It means either a literal rabbit's hole or a bizarre/confusing situation.
Ex. All the stress and late nights drove him deeper into the rabbit's hole.

So say some problem/situation is a rabbit-hole means it is hard to solve and confusing? Interesting! Same source as Chinese meaning but different perspective. @languagegirl_13 Thanks!
