Even if a different question, many of the concerns are the same (e.g. small population, limited space, closed system). Well, at least a house on earth (presumably) has unlimited ventilation and can capture rain/precipitation - makes some things easier. | |

While there may be imported plants, the climate will have a massive impact on what can be grown. Temperature, sunlight, humidity, availability of water, and altitude are all important in determining what plants are viable. | |

Similarly, they will need a way to safely dispose of trash and sewage to avoid contaminating their food/water supply and living space and doesn't attract the hunting creatures. Of course, humans are themselves devastatingly efficient predators...so if those hunters taste yummy served with a nice sauce and some potatoes on the side, their days are numbered. | |
