I have been trying to catch a stray bunny for over 12 weeks now.
Every night I have been out running around after this bun, and now in a morning as it is too dark at night since the clocks have changed.
I have tried everything...nets, towels, blankets, small animal traps and for the last 3 weeks I have had my rabbit run (the ones that are like puppy pens) built up in a a lady's garden, who I didn't know at first, but now I do, Wendy.
When I first set it up the entrance was wide, and I made it smaller every day, but it is very smart and carried the veg out, so then we moved on to huge veg that it couldn't carry as fast so that Wendy could run out and close the panels.
Poor Wendy now has rats due to the food that we are leaving out.
I have had a spare dog crate set up in my garage for all the 12 weeks so I can keep him/her dry until I get him/her to BARC
The RSPCA will not have anything to do with the bun (don't get me going....)
You never know, it could be pregnant if a doe from a wild bun
Its not getting tamer/trusting us.
And no one has reported a missing bun, so it must be dumped.
It is a quite road with live on, and all the gardens are huge and when you try to catch it the bun runs thru the trees into a farmers field, it stays out of the enclosed gardens.
What would you do??
I don't want to feel like I am deserting it, but it is eating lots of grass (I think it is enjoying the freedom)
But its not fair for Wendy with the Rats.
