Hi,
New to the world of rabbits but have previously kept pygmy hedgehogs, so please be gentle with me.
I woke up yesterday to find a small white rabbit feeding on neighbours lawn. I couldn't stand the thought of letting it stay out in the cold & rain even though it seemed quite content. So after what must have been like a scene from Laurel & Hardy, my wife and I finally caught it. This bunny does not like to be handled!
It now has the run of our lounge and seems quite happy and will come close and happy to be hand fed. I have put up leaflets locally and on local Facebook in the hope it may be reunited with owner. Should the owner not be found I am not happy with the thought of handing it in and then being pushed around pilllar to post or worse so I am quite willing to keep & care for it.
I've been feeding it on all the foods people recommend on this and other forums/sites and my first port of call is to get some mixed hay. Next up is to determine sex so i can name it and stop calling it 'it'.
I will no doubt be along soon for advice.
