~all attention.. New bunny in our yard!~

i know. we had the wild rabbit in our yard for a year, then the neighbors moved in.... bad luck for bunny.

I will not bring her indoors, but I MIGHT put a hutch out there, or i might build a fence area. ( in my backyard, I might get a small dog pen with a roof and put her in there) So at least she has a little room to hop. Max won't bother anything; he is too laid back. Playful but laid back.

Okay, but keep in mind what I said earlier -- a rabbit can be frightened to death if they are in an outside enclosure and a predator is trying to get them. So she's still be at risk.

We got the dog pen up last night- then we chased her down, and placed her in, tempting her with food. She seems happy, and Max will just go and sniff, look at her, and go run around doing his own thing. She does not mind. Which is good. However, The pitbulls and our fence... well ONE part of our fence seperates our yard, A piece of fence goes from our creek to the front of our houses, And the dogs of our neighbors climb the fence... and they have been barking at the bunny.. I put our old tiny dog house in the pen so when they barked ,she hopped in there and ate some carrot. So she's doing great so far.

Glad she has a hiding place, that should help! Miss Hoppy would recommend offering her some flat parsley - yummy and good for her!

I will think about that! I took some pictures of her... brought max in and let her loose in the yard. She was calm and stuff, nibbled on some grass, cooperated long enough for me to get some pics. Here they are:

More pics on next post!
