A week ago I thought I saw a small rabbit hopping in my backyard, but I just assumed it was a bird, but today I saw it again! It’s definitely not a wild rabbit. It’s grey but (not agouti though it’s just a plain grey color) with a white belly and white around its eyes. It has short ears and a round head. It’s also tiny!
I live in the middle of the city in a suburban area, so I highly doubt this could be a wild rabbit. A couple years ago someone freed their rabbit in our neighborhood, so I’m wondering if this could of happened again. I checked Craigslist and other sites to see if anyone was has lost a rabbit, but I couldn’t find anything.
I’m thinking of trying to use either the top of our old guinea pig cage to catch it, borrowing a puppy pen from my neighbors and trying to corner it, or using an old blanket to catch it. Which way would work best? Is there something else I should try?
Should I take it to the vet if I do end up catching it? Or should I take it to the shelter?
I was actually considering adopting a pet rabbit a while ago, so I did TONS of research on them. If this actually does end up being a domestic rabbit, I would seriously consider keeping it. (And yes I know they are expensive and they’re a lot of work, but I am up for it)
Any help would be really appreciated!
