It's a start

Background: Way back in the summer I posted about an abandoned REW in the fields nearby. We made a bid on catching him/her but failed - way too much cover and not enough equipment. The owners of the field also tried to no avail.

Since then, my OH spotted another, only a few fields away. We now think someone dumped the pair on the main road, and in fear they scuttered in different directions.

They've adapted to their environs tolerably well, but cover is reducing now the leaves are dying back, and we worry about the exposure in terms of both temparature and predators.

Bother - gotta make a phone call.... I'll come backto this asap

so now

My mum has got a humane rabbit catcher for us, which she is bringing in a couple of weeks. We'll start putting tempting treats out in advance in the hope they will get easier to catch. Anyone ever done this before...?

I have used it before and it is a wonderful device. My grandmother lives in Bristol and we used to visit her during our vacation. She had a similar trap and we used to catch rabbits using it. The success rate was above 95%. The most important advantage is that the rabbits will not get hurt.

Good luck I hope you can catch the poor bunnies. Unfortunately being white they are more easily spotted by predators.

Ive only just seen this. Any updates.

Do you want some help in trying to round up these bunnies??

Did the same with a ferret, and it worked but took time.
Best of luck.xxxxx
