2 days ago, when I went out to tend my bunnies, I found a cage door on a growout pen open. There were still 2 bunnies in it, but there were 7. Access to my yard is not easy, so I'm sure it was me that left it open the day before. I found and caught 3 of them within 20 mins in the backyard with no problems. They came right up to me. Yesterday, I saw one meandering around near the street when I got home from work. He didn't come to me, but he also didn't bolt when I walked up to him and caught him. So, that accounts for all but one. 20 mins ago, I saw the last one in the back yard. I went out to get him, but he won't let me closer than 5 - 10 feet. He's apparently gotten comfortable in the blackberry brambles that I have. It's an area about 15 X 35 feet overgrown with blackberries, and there's an old picnic table in there. It's been raining off and on for the last 4 or 5 days, and that will continue for a couple more days. So, he can get enough water by licking leaves, for now. But, after this weekend it's not going to be so wet. The only escape I know of out of the back yard is through the privacy fence next door. Apparently there's a hole in it somewhere in the brambles. However, they have 2 large dogs next door. Does anyone have a suggestion on how I can catch him? I tried sitting near him and talking to him hoping he'd calm down and come to me. I always talk to my bunnies when I'm tending them. He'd start towards me, then stop 5 feet away and turn around. So, that's not working. He WAS bred for meat. And he was scheduled for harvest later this week. So, it's not like I've lost a pet or anything. But, I also realize any predator that catches him won't be as gentle with him as I would be. I don't want him to suffer. Advice?
