Rhabdodon was probably an important herbivore in Cretaceous Europe. Rhabdodon's predators may include the potentially dubious ceratosaur Tarascosaurus, and young may have bee prey for Pyroraptor; thought adults where probably to big for either; as Tarascosaurus was around 2.5–3 m (7–10 ft), Pyroraptor around 2 m (6–7 ft), and Rhabdodon 6 m (18–20 ft).

Rhabdodon lived in Spain,France and Romania . Remains of a very similar dinosaur (femur and limb bone fragments) are also known from the Czech Republic. Rhabdodon was a very small dinosaur it was the sized of a deer it was smaller than its relatives, possibly due to the insular environment that existed in Europe during the Cretaceous period. Some scientist believed it was the deer of the dinosaurs since its almost the the same sizes.
