Gotta get my sister a new rabbit. A Raccoon managed to undo the spring latch, & snagged the rabbit either last night, or sometime during the early morning.
My dad doesn't believe it was a coon, since there was very little left behind. He believes there's always carnage when a Raccoon kills...
The black, & white rabbit on YouTube?
Yep, I mentioned the bonding thing. They're still gonna build an outdoor hutch.
With the way grandpa is being I don't think keeping the rabbit indoors would be much of an option. He forced me to clean the brooders out yesterday, even though there wasn't...
At the beginning the cat was interested in trying to get a chick, but now she leaves them alone when I have them out.
A rabbit might scare her, so she'd probably leave it alone.
He/she is inside in a large doggy crate in the basement of my grandpa's house right now. It's temporary, unless he let's us keep it indoors.
He has a pet cat, also. She hasn't hurt a chick.
The one we have seems larger, but we haven't tried weighing it yet.
S/he seems still young.
English Spot is another one that seems to match the rabbit. They look similar.
My sister's sending some frontal face view pictures of the rabbit.
There's a person that breeds for 4-H, so maybe it escaped from there? I never seen rabbits over there though, only chickens, ducks, & geese. It's a possibility.
My grandpa is a finicky old man, who limits what animals can be inside. Cats, & baby chicks are the only things allowed.
We have no space in our own house.
I believe I figured out the breed. Best match I found is the Checkered Giant, & they get big. So I guess that confirms it being a meat rabbit.
My grandpa will not allow us to keep the rabbit indoors. We're gonna be building a rabbit hutch. I have no idea what size it's gonna be.
My dad wants a wire bottom to catch the rabbit poop for fertilizer, but I also agree that wire bottoms are uncomfortable. I'll see if I can get them to agree...
It was my dad who offered it. It's only for the day until we get some actual food. We weren't expecting to find a rabbit today. We're most likely gonna swing by TSC tomorrow for rabbit food.
