If your parents won't let the rabbit in the house, and the racoons are threatening to kill Floppsy, then I think you should look at the quality of life that poor rabbit has and consider finding him another good home with someone who will keep him indoors where he is safe. It was one of my toughest lessions as a kid, but it's an important one.

If the racoons are hanging around now, then it's just a matter of time before they get that cage open. They are very clever animals. I don't mean to scare you, but you should open up your heart and decide what is in the best interest of Floppsy, and start looking around the phonebook for rabbit rescue organations. You could even do a "Google" search by going to www.google.com and typing in "rabbit rescue New York" and you will find some hits. Then pick up that phone and start calling. You also might get some help from some of the places.

Just my honest opinion. The rabbit is not in a safe home if what you are saying is the truth about those racoons. It's a tough lesson, but it IS an important, mature and brave decission.
