Bribery! :lol: Carrots are the most wonderful veggie EVER.
I went down there before nine with a cat carrier to see if I could tempt him or her through the railings and into it by chopping bits of apple and carrot and hiding it in the straw. And then this lady who lives in one of the houses backing onto the gardens started calling me saying the rabbit was in one of the gardens and asking if I'd come to catch it. So she let me in, and some more people came out, all saying how I probably wouldn't get near it and how it was very well fed by them all and asking if it really needed to be caught. I walked down into the garden it was in - it was eating someone's leeks?
- and called it and it came binkying at me. He or she was eating carrot from my hand and there was this crowd all ooh-ing and aah-ing - great morning entertainment, apparently - so I kept pulling my hand holding the carrot back towards the open pet carrier, got it so it had its two front paws in whilst it leant to eat the carrot and then pushed its little behind in after it and closed the door! ^_^
The woman who let me in was saying her grandson will miss it a lot, because they'd watch it from the window, and saying if it turns out to be a boy, could I call it Jack. I've never sexed a rabbit before, but I'll go read all about bunny bits later.
I'm charging the camera for piccies...! I put a cardboard box with a hole cut out in the puppy crate and so far the little imp has refused to poke more than its nose out, but piccies shall definitely come when its feeling more confident and settled...!
