AIBU not to tell our neighbours that their rabbit has escaped yet again?

[NotOurRabbit]

Neighbour's (a few houses down) rabbit escapes into our garden almost daily.
We have told them a number of times that it is here and the reaction from them is 'meh' but they have collected it none the less.
Rabbit now seems to be in our garden a lot. It comes and goes but was there yesterday afternoon, disappeared and has returned this morning.
Same throughout last week.
It can get in and out through the hedge so is not trapped.
AIBU to ignore it or should I knock on their door every time I see it?

mend your fence and it will stop being your problem.

my neighbours used to have one that kept getting out, I kept catching it, giving it food and water until they got in, then going round.

Eventually a fox got it.

Now they have an untrained dog that runs out into the road. They don't appear to own a lead.

Report to the RSPCA. Since the law was changed, owners now have a legal "duty of care" to their animals, so the RSPCA can now step in before harm actually comes to an animal.

glitter: if you don't want to/can't care for it yourself, please contact the RSPCA. there is no way I'm going to start caring for it. If I wanted a rabbit I would get one! :(

piglet: mend your fence and it will stop being your problem. it actually goes out of their garden, into the garden behind our house and through a hedge at the bottom of ours. There is no fence and I would resent paying £1000 to put one up just to keep out a rabbit!!

It isn't here tonight for once! I'm now wondering where it is!

Andrewofgg you have no heart ! :o

No NotOurRabbit but I have a healthy appetite! :o

:o!!

wire netting then. has to be dug into the ground, or the bottom folded out toward where the rabbit is coming from, and covered with soil, to prevent him digging through

Thanks piglet! We are going to look at it this weekend. Wire netting is a good idea thanks!

No rabbit again today! I wonder if the neighbours are on MN?!

I think Andrew may have had it.

It was delicious.

You are a horrible person Andrewofgg!

I'm glad it's gone

Yes, but I'm a bit of a gourmet chef . . .

NotOurRabbit I'm sorry, I didn't mean for that to sound like I was judging but I think it might have come out like that...no, you shouldn't have to seeing as it's not you who got it! I just meant if you were interested in caring for it then you could just do so yourself (as they clearly aren't) otherwise call the RSPCA so they can rehome it somewhere more appropriate.

Glitter :) I can't go near the thing I'm not very good with animals that's all!!

Andrewofgg you liar!! The rabbit is back!!

It had a brother . . .

:o !!

We had a rabbit for 12 yars and it had the run of the garden (securely enclosed) but only during the day and when we were at home. At night, it was enticed back to its hutch. It was a big rabbit (Belgian type that looks like a giant wild one) but would have been prey for foxes.

I feel for rabbits because they are so cuddly and soft and fluffy and have big eyes and ours was four brick lengths long................ (weighed a ton).

Please try to help the rabbit you don't want (I do understand that you don't want it) and contact a rescue centre or the RSPCA - they don't put everything down.
