Found a rabbit under my porch this morning!

Thank you everyone who took the time to offer wisdom and advice. I didn't mean to ask anything controversial, and I value getting to hear different perspectives. It's been a long time since I've had a rabbit, and I definitely needed the refresher. We will wait another day or two for someone to claim him before making our final decision, but we have a lot to think about. :)

I was just contacted by someone who says that they are missing 4 rabbits that got out of their cage: a solid white, a solid brown, a black and white, and a brown and white. I asked them in general where they were located and to send a picture if possible...but haven't heard back yet. The description doesn't sound quite right to me....I would say this one is more gray (rather than black) with light tan (rather than brown). Right? I want him to go back to his people, but don't want to send him away with just anyone.

Hmm it doesn’t seem like one of theirs, but if it is, you might consider asking them if you can keep/buy it from them. I don’t know their situation or rabbit set up, but you may be able to offer him a better life than one where he can easily get out of his cage. Just a thought, like I said, I don’t know the other person’s situation.

That's a good idea. I might. I would want to return him to a good, responsible home if someone came looking for him. The kids and I have gotten kind of fond of him though. I'd be sad to see him go.

I used to have an indoor rabbit, not a good idea in my opinion, she could escape anything and would chew apart cords, furniture and anything else she could reach, they also smell really bad.
After we had ours inside for too long and moved her outside she ended up dying.

All it takes is some bunny proofing and cleaning up. Just like you would with a puppy or baby.
Rabbit pee stinks. So does cat pee. All it takes is regularly cleaning the litter box, and getting them fixed helps a ton.
Most rabbits will live a much better life inside, protected from the weather and predators, where they can run, exercise, bond with you, and explore, rather than being locked in a tiny hutch their whole life then dying. Especially with so many predators (which could kill them just from scaring them and causing a heart attack), and heat (which kills rabbits all the time) and all the other issues.
