Bastard Fookin Fox Ate my Favourite Rabbit

[Woooozle100]

Grrrrrrr. Feel so sad and gutted. And pretty cack too cos I thought bunnies were safe and secure. DH had made em a grand little run comprising of tunnels coming from their hutch / patio fortress onto the lawn, with sturdy wire fencing and roof enclosing the grassy bits. Not so. BFF opened all the crocodile clips. All that's left of R is clumps of fur on the lawn and play tunnel.

sniff And I feel guilty that I've had thoughts of wishing it was the other rabbit that was taken - the one that shits itself when she sees me and really isn't very friendly

So glad dd is too young to understand all this. Can't beleive how gutted dh and I feel

oh no - that's horrible. At least your dd isn't upset.

How upsetting... My nieces had a rabbit that "ran away" a few weeks ago. Suspect it is unfortunately quite common.

We've been thinking of getting a rabbit. Not really made up our minds but this may have helped me make my final deicsion of choosing a different pet.

Oh sorry to be putting you off Sparkler. All was fine and dandy with the bunnies until this

Inzi - that's quite a nice-ish thought to imagaine one animal bravely and nobley trying to protect another. My cousin said this may have been the case with ours - boy was protecting his girl. Hope R died of fright - heart attack or something rather than being mauled.

Mumpbump - sorry for yr niece. At least 'running away' is a more palatable thought. Dh has moments of clinging back to this theory. despite the fur clumps...

Very sorry for all you bunny losses.

Perhaps now is not the best time to ask if anyone would be interested in a 4 month old
black and white spotted mini lop buck? Free to a good home.

I discovered today that our pair of female rabbits are not both girlies after all and for that reason need to rehome one asap!

We're in West Yorkshire if anyone is interested. He's very well handled but rather lively so probably not best suited to very small children.

dont be put off buying funny bunnies keep them in the house, house rabbits are v common nowadays! I have 2 that chase each other about like loons and play ball with each other etc they are so much fun!!!

sugar, sorry for your loss!! I forgot to say it just

oh i'm so sorry for you. i have three rabbits too

Amateurdoctor - don't jump to conclusions! We have a pair of female dwarf rabbits, and when they were about 4 or 5 months I discovered them engaged in some v unladylike behaviour, and assumed that one, after all, was male. After a panicked trip to the vets, the vet assured me that they were both female, that rabbits 'experiment' when they were adolescent, and that i could have them neutered after 6 months to make them more freindly, less likely to fight as they grwo up, and less likely to get cancer. The carried on 'experimenting' until I had them both neutered.

Very sorry about your poor rabbit ejb.

You can get Fox-proof runs with fox-proof wire.

Chicken wire will not keep foxes out, and clips which can be simply moved round on a pivot are not fox-proof. you need a good bold or padlock and clasp.
