I have a fugitive rabbit :lol: - a doe that got out several months ago when the kids opened the cages before I made it back there to help (they were trying to help feed and water for me as a surprise). I am shocked that she's still around, between the roaming dogs, coyotes, possums, raccoons, etc. normally there isn't much hope for long term survival Somehow she has found a way to make it work (I think she might be burrowing under our shed?? Found a small entrance to a tunnel that I don't remember seeing before and it looks pretty deep (vs. surface level). Anyway, even as a kit she was skittish and for a while wouldn't come out if anyone was in the yard, I would catch glimpses of her back in the brush or in my garden :evil: :roll: . Lately she's been coming out more and more during the day, but would still take off as soon as I stepped outside. Over the last couple of weeks I started leaving a small pile of pellets on the ground when I was feeding the others and over time she has lingered more and more - sometimes hanging out, sniffing around the hutches, sometimes on the table where the bucket of feed was... but there at least. The other night she came right up to me! I crouched down and it spooked her for a couple hops, but she hesitantly came back and let me scratch her nose a little! The last two nights it was after dark by the time I made it out there so I think the lights on my hat spooked her. I am trying to decide what to do - if I get close enough do I just grab her? She's a steel meat mutt, and her coat is SLICK so I know it's going to be a challenge. I need to get some live traps anyway and I think pellets would do the trick so that could be an option. But even if I do get her back in a hutch, what health risks could there potentially be at this point? I know cocci would be one, not sure what else.
