Bailey Escaped!!! :( :( :(

:(:(:(:(:(:( Im in total shock. The rabbits were free ranging in my 'rabbit proof garden' and somehow bailey managed to chew through a bit of wire mesh and escape, through a tiny hole!! I was frantically searching for her all over the garden for ages. Then I heard a voice behind the garden saying 'yeah small...black' and I thought 'BAILEY!!' I managed to shove my way through 6 or so feet of hedges to the neighboring garden and I saw here there, and the guy told me to jump over the fence and get her. I was so relieved!! He hung up the phone and told me it was the RSPCA. I'm so lucky she's unharmed! I ended up chasing her around the mans' garden (with a woman and a small child watching amusedly through the window :lol: ) and when I caught her she went right back into the shed. When I was chasing her she was actually binkying (as she does when i 'heard' her sometimes). She is totally oblivious as to what just happened, but my stomach is sitting in my mouth!! I feel so bad. Whenever I let them out i'm sure to check the perimeter of the garden, but she managed to chew through the wire quickly and dissapear. :( From now it's free range time supervised 100% by me, and I shan't be trusting my brother to keep an eye on them :lol: ) Oh, and one funny thing-the man was calling her a cat :shock: bless him. I thanked him like a million times-im so relieved though!!:love::love:

A cat?! :lol:

I'm glad you got your bunny back safely. They can be so quick and squeeze through the tiniest of holes!!
 
:lol: my cat felix also decided to accompany me over the fence (honestly don't know why, i just turned around and he was there:lol:)...which was even more embarrassing! Holding bailey in the crook of one arm, then trying to pick up felix with the other! :lol: I thank god that monty didn't decide to come along too :lol::wave:
 
Oh my goodness! :shock: So glad you found her ok. Please be careful letting your buns free range unsupervised. Foxes and cats are a risk, and even crows and magpies will attack rabbits.
 
:lol: I'm so glad she's ok too...for bailey everything's a game! She's so naughty, the only rabbit i know who prefers sticking her nose into things more than eating :lol::wave:
 
Glad you got him back safe! I've had many escape scares, rabbits CAN get through spaces half their size
 
My bridge bunny Harper was a notorious escapee, her sole purpose was to escape my garden. Luckily I got her back everytime. It was always so difficult to catch her. She spent several nights out and about and luckily one of my neighbours about 8 doors down caught her in his garden, she was covered in fleas. I have never known a bunny like her. So pleased you got yours back.
 
my 2 little girls are expert escapers. They always come back when it starts to get dark and they're hungry (usually I'm in a state of panic by then). last time it was a broken bit in the gate - now fixed so hopefully escape proof now
