This afternoon, my daughter & grandaughter came over. Since I know where the bunny is hiding, I took them out to see if they could get a peek at it under the storage shed. Well, not only did they get a peek, but the bunny couldn't get to my grandaughter fast enough! We were shocked! The bunny hopped in circles around her and when she sat on the grass, it came right to her.
So as not to get her heart broken, I repeatedly told her that he belongs to somebody else and we are going to try to find the owners. I don't want her heart broken over this!
After they went home, I called the neighbors and sure enough, it belongs to their teenage daughter. BUT.........they were keeping it inside and no longer want it, so they threw it out! They told me that we can have it. Now I need to do some research and see what is required to safely keep a bunny. I just can't keep it inside. So I hope he can survive outside if it gets the proper shelter, food, etc. They told us it's a "he."
I'm worried that he may not know how to drink water from a bowl if he has always had one of those bottles with the metal tip. Not sure what they are called, but y'all know what I mean. He ate several big cabbage leaves and is munching grass quite a bit. We did fix a big bowl of fresh water for him, but so far he hasn't attempted to drink any.
If we can't provide a proper home, I will take him to a shelter. And I will make sure that they know he was thrown out to fend for himself. I think that is just cruel! We have huge red-tail hawks here that could easily grab him and also a feral cat colony close by. We put him in our small fenced in side yard for now.
So wish us luck, and all of you with experience, please feel free to give me some pointers, and advice. We are also wanting a cute name for it. They call him Pork Chop, but we don't care for that name. Cute for a dog, but not a bunny. It just doesn't sound right. LOL!
Have a nice evening!
