    Had a mate whos neighbors had a rabbit they just couldnt contain. The thing was like Houdini. No matter how hard they tried it would always escape. A different neighbors kid apparently went to their parents as were like “mummy mummy, there is a loaf of bread in the front yard! now a bird is attacking it!” It survived that one. It sadly didnt survive the neighbour with a greyhound. The greyhound owners were super apologetic, the rabbit owners were upset but said “we tried so hard, but we knew this day was gonna come, unless we kept it chained up this was gonna happen”.

      That’s what worried me too… one of the neighbours has a hunting breed of dog, bunny would’ve been toast if it’d gone to that yard instead, and there are heaps of tall trees with ravens and magpies.

        Yeah, apparently the greyhound owner went over and warned them before it went down. Something like “I know your trying, but just to be clear if you rabbit escapes into my yard, it wont be escaping again. Sorry, but there is nothing I can do to prevent it”.

      We briefly owned a rabbit when I was younger. The next door neighbour packed all her stuff up and moved to Perth and couldn’t be bothered bringing most of her animals. She had a rabbit, 3 cats, and 2 dogs. She took the dogs and left the rest. Mum assumed the RSPCA would probably put them all down (they were all getting old), so we ended up with most of them.

      The rabbit was absolutely dark magic. It got out twice, and we ended up building a little rabbit-run for it with chicken wire and wood. But we didn’t do a good enough job, and it snuck out the corner. Everytime it ran away, it ended up in the yard of some kids down the road. Eventually mum decided it was too difficult and asked their parents, and then the rabbit became the kids problem!
