Blue Raptor
Ad Astra Per Aspera
This:
(Ok, enemy rules: part one
No chomping people without member who made the rabbit's permission. Unless, of course, rabbit gets within 15 bounds of den. They would kind of deserve that.
Family packs (Coyotes) are controlled by two people only, let's just start out with one pack at the most, otherwise this will be chaos.
Foxes can have up to 5 in a family, controlled by two people if more than one fox.
Raccoons come in 3 ( maybe 2?) or less. Preferably one person per coon.
Raccoons are semi expendable, meaning if yours get blown away, you can do another one.
Hawks and eagles will be discussed later.
Rats seem to already be in play as a kind of background noise.
Ways to get rid of enemies:
Man/two legs, (lead them to traps or into the garden/chicken coop [REVENGE!!!])
Other enemies ((coons could get chomped by Coyotes ))
Hit by a tractor or car
Foxes come as red and grey. Grey are small and can fit in tight places + climb trees, if three (3) or more rabbits gang up on them, they will leave. They mainly get rats and mice, or birds, and can be convinced to not eat you, be on the same side even, with enough food. Over time, you can build trust with an individual fox, and they will not attempt to harm you or you warren, but will still raid otber warrens.They mainly come as just one, family packs are uncommon. Mainly attack during dawn and dusk.
Red are bigger, stronger, and harder to deter. Bribes must be massive, and even then may not work. Climbing is not very easy for them. They may be deterred by 5 or more rabbits teamed up with a grey fox. Red foxes may attempt do dig kits and rabbits out, so warrens under tree roots are safest.
Red foxes may attempt to kill as many rabbits ad they can in a sitting.
They may be killed by coyotes, and attempt to raid chicken coops, sometimes being killed by man in the process. Leading them towards man is tje best way to eliminate them. Family packs are more common in red foxes than grey foxes. May attack at all times.
Coyotes frequent Rabbit burrows once a week to two weeks, and may attack by day.
Coyotes usually come in no fewer than two. They will attempt to run rabbits down, and dig up dens. They are most often killed by man. Coyotes will leave if no kills are made anywhere in two weeks.
if they kill a deer, they will not attack for a week.
Raccoons are a threat mainly to young rabbits, cannot be bribed, and their biggest weakness is the man's garden and chicken coop. Attacks are supprise grabs. full grown rabbits may be able to bite and escape. 2 Raccoons is common
Weasels, stoats, minks, and ferrets:
these may be deterred by 2 or more rabbits. They may kill adult rabbits, but mainly infiltrate burrows to grab kits.
A trusted Grey fox is the best way to get rid of them.
