Rabbit! Rabbit! White Rabbit! (there is one white one in there!)
(Remember when clicking a video that if you click the small square on the bottom right, it will enlarge it. And then Esc to get back.
This is a video my daughter sent me of the rabbits that she had captured running loose on her property a year ago. She had caught and put the females all in the barn to keep them from reproducing (too many to spay). However, not too long ago, they tunneled out. So this picture shows them drinking water she puts out by the barn.
Story is that one of her neighbors used to raise rabbits and decided to stop - and just let them all run loose. This is in the Hill Country. They eventually migrated to my daughters acreage. They are not wild rabbits so animal control is no help. She does find homes for some of the babies, but otherwise now just lets them go their own way, but puts out water (and possibly food) for them.
I tell her that she now owns a Bunny Ranch... along with her horses, dogs, cats, chickens, and turtles. There are 3 ponds on the acreage and it's fenced, but animals (as well as several stray dogs) seem to find their way there. She will try to find homes for them, but if not, they are generally allowed to stay.
I know this is a different Rabbit! Rabbit! post, but wanted to share the video.
Wishing you all a lovely Labor Day!

They are certainly cute. Oh my goodness, she's got such a lot of critters!
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm afraid we're 'critter lovers'
DeleteThis is too sweet! Thanks for sharing with us Rian, hope you have a special Labor Day 🙂👍
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a good Labor Day also, Dug. Is the Senior Center doing something or possibly they're closed today? I think ours is closed. We have no plans, but luckily they did put in our new upstairs A/C this morning.
DeleteRian our center is closed today too... but I'm very glad to read about your AC!
Deletei hope you are well. your daughter is the critter whisperer!! i enjoyed the video!!
ReplyDeleteShe has a dilemma with the bunnies. Would love to find them homes, but too many to spay... and doesn't want them going to someone who might use them for the wrong reasons (experiments or as bait?). So, until something comes up, they are relatively safe on her property.
DeleteCute! But such a shame that the previous owner simply let the rabbits loose. Your daughter has her hands full.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your Labor Day!
Yes, unfortunately people can be either inconsiderate or senseless... (nothing new).
DeleteHope you have a good Labor Day!
Oh my, that is a lot of bunnies. It seems cruel that the owner would just let the rabbits loose when they are not wild rabbits. I guess they are lucky to have survived.
ReplyDeleteI know, Miss Merry. People do strange things. But although I'm sure that some may be caught by owls or coyotes (like the chickens), most seem to have survived OK.
