I have three rabbits, a man was going to feed this rabbit to his dogs and I told him NO YOUR NOT just let me have him right now. So he did. He took it out of the back of his truck and let it go in our barn yard, that was 5 years ago and he still lives in our band yard and will come running for a treat and an ear scratch. He is now joined by two other "unwanted" rabbits who also live loose in your barn yard. I had a lopped eared rabbit awhile ago, he was a great pet and lived in the house, he passed away about 7 years ago, someday I will get another one but I haven't the time right now.
