Yesterday on the way to daycare I saw a woman feeding a beautiful grey lion head like out in the street. Was kinda like do you need help catching your bunny and she said it’s just a neighbourhood bunny that has been loose since the winter. Apparently the entire street have been putting out food etc for months, they don’t know who the owners were or if bunny escaped or was set loose intentionally.
So I went back last night and couldn’t see them, this morning I walked that way again and saw the bunny, I left some food and greens soaked in water and tried to see how confident the bunny is, they were kind of skittish but clearly used to ppl bringing food. Didn’t run away when dog walkers passed by either. When I came back past after dropping my little one at daycare the bunny was gone.
I have emailed our local animal rescue and asked if they are aware of the bunny, or know if any missing bunnies have been reported in the area. I’m shocked that an entire street full of people are apparently aware of them and yet bunny is still out there. I’ve spoken to three separate residents now who have said the bunny has been out for a long time. We have foxes, coyotes, lynx, bobcats, bears, eagles and I don’t even know what else in the area. I can’t even begin to imagine how this bunny has survived since winter, they must have a safe shelter somewhere, especially to survive the winter weather.
I don’t even know how to go about catching the bunny, honestly I’m at a loss where to even start. The bunny seems to be hanging about in a small bush/tree area in the middle of the street consistently, it’s such an open space. I’m guessing a carrier with food might be the best place to start. I just don’t know!
