Looking for a bit of advice here.
Putting the bin out last night, I discovered two rabbits in the back street. They’re very young and clearly not wild, they’re tan coloured and were timid but semi-tame. I could get within a couple of yards of them before they scarpered.
A neighbour came out and asked if I knew whose they were, she’d been knocking door to door with no luck. Given some of my neighbours, it wouldn’t surprise me if they were unwanted babies they’d just tossed out into the street. There’s a colony of wild / semi-feral cats around who were taking an interest and I shooed away.
Tonight, a lad I’ve never seen before rang my doorbell with one of them in his arm, cute as a button and docile as you like (the rabbit, not the lad) asking if it was mine. He’d been walking down the back street, seen it and managed to pick it up. He hadn’t seen the other one.
I’ve just been out to bring the bin back in, and the other one appears to be hiding in my old dustbin hole (long since disused with the advent of wheelie bins, it’s basically a very very small shed). In lieu of any better ideas, I’ve chucked some old hamster food down left over from back when I had hamsters. The bunny had gone by the time I got back there with the food.
Thing is, what do I do now? Try and catch or leave alone? If I manage to catch it I’ve nowhere to put it short of locking it in the kitchen with a pile of hamster bedding. Ring RSPCA in the morning, or something else?
Cheers in advance.
