I have a small cottontail currently, i won't be able to release it because he bonded to me a bit too much. And because where he was found is being destroyed and turned into buildings. I can't give him to any vets or wildlife rehabilitation because there are none near. But i will be taking him with me when i move with my aunt and her rabbits, which are the same age but domestic, and he will be able to live out his life on the farm along with the other rabbits

We have beautiful wild Rabbits I have seen them very early in the Morning, the problem is theMother Rabbit is close to the Road, she lives in a bushy area, unfortunately 2 have been killed by cars, it’s dark the driver probably can’t see Poor bunnies. However I do give them Timothy Hay, and carrots, blueberries. I comeback a few days later it’s all gone.

My bunny is a European rabbit but still wild... He's 2 years old, neutered and the cuddliest of my pet bunnies but he has a white nose which is a bit rare and he's from the wild... As a baby he kept running after me and licked me. Now he's a very strong buck and can't stop DIGGING!... I need some advice because digging box is way too small. Thx for your advice 💕

They’re pests

They're beautiful animals, how are they pests?

[@minxella12]

@@kyomatsuhirameki8615 If you have anything nice growing in the yard they will go for it. You have to fence everything that you don't want them to eat, they will just about mow it to the ground. Cute but destructive.
