Our tricky buck got out and we have been trying to catch him for 3 days. (technically, 3 evenings) I have been putting food and water in his cage. When we notice him in there, we try to hurry and close the door but he is quicker than we are. Have tried to get the dog to tire him out but the dog gave up. We look like a bunch of wackos calling this rabbit and expecting him to come to us then chasing him around the yard and trying to block him off. We've come so close a couple of times. We are terrible rabbit catchers. I give him a lot of credit. Now I feel like he's just mocking usI have resorted to threatening him with no breeding this weekend if he doesn't stay in his cage. Still no luck…..
When I couldn't catch my rabbit I used a short portable flexible fence. I would open it to slowly move it until the rabbit was corralled in it. Then I stepped inside it and picked up the bunny. Maybe could make one out of chicken wire. It worked 100% of the time. If you can't picture it, let me know and I'll try to explain better. Never had to run or freak out the bunny.
